At the intersection between art and science

The realms of art and science are often considered polar opposites, but the boundaries between them are torn down whenever Shanghai artist Wang Xuyuan wields his brush.

For the past seven years, Wang has been championing the preservation of polar regions through his art, which he says offers his viewers a reflection of our times.

To date, Wang has created more than 100 pieces of art that feature arctic elements such as icebergs, penguins and mountains. He has even used water melted from Arctic ice to mix his ink.
