Ella WANG Olsson

Ella WANG OLSSON is a Swedish-Chinese multidisciplinary artist working with flow, reflection and reaction. Growing through mind maps, visions and reality, Ella’s work often embodies the middle ground that exists as a result of contrasting forces: east vs west, male vs female, digital vs analog. Constantly searching for belonging in an increasingly lonesome world, Ella practices collaboration and improvisation openly, often working within club spaces and among the local people who give it life. Ella’s work can be experienced through performance, video, painting and photography.
