Chapel Hill, NC
Jan-Ru Wan, is an artist-educator who was born in Taipei, Taiwan and has retired as a professor from the College of Design, North Carolina State University. For more than two decades, Jan-Ru Wan has been re-using found objects, especially those discarded from industrial factories, in her sculpture and installation work, re-inventing and elevating their original purpose. Her unique way of incorporating wildly diverse materials with layers of repetition and creating a space of awe is the signature of her installation works.
Throughout Wan’s career, she has participated in 28 solo exhibitions and 44 group exhibitions. Her work has been featured in Surface Design Magazine and Sculpture Magazine. The National Art Education Association Anthology: Globalization, Art, and Education devoted an entire chapter on her work. Wan is also the recipient of North Carolina’s 2008 Visual Art Fellowship.
