Young Berlin illustrator Ruohan Wang's charming work belies her youth

Date
9 July 2015

For what we initially thought to be just cute little people with cute little bums and frying pans, Ruohan Wang’s work comes from a place of depth. Her studio, R Studio (taking its name from her initial) also stands for “Recovery of confusion, Regeneration of inspiration and Relationship of different events and culture,” she says on her site. However, that takes nothing away from how instantly charming her illustration work is, taking a sweetly naive style to rendering figures and merging it with more abstract influences. She’s currently studying a master’s at Berlin University of the Arts, and for one so early in her career there’s a real deftness to her approach to colour and composition. And just look at that bum!
