About this Event

Spooktacular Surrealism: An Afternoon with Xue Wang


Date: 25th October

Time: 2:00 PM

Location: Westover Gallery, 4 Westover Rd, Bournemouth BH1 2BY


This Halloween season, step into a world of eerie elegance and whimsical wonder at Westover Gallery as we host Xue Wang for a spine-tingling afternoon of art, imagination, and surreal charm.

Xue Wang, whose artistic journey began in the world of fashion, brings a uniquely theatrical and nostalgic flair to her paintings. After earning her BA in Fashion in China and an MA in London, her passion for visual storytelling led her to a new creative path: painting. “I see art as a more direct way to express my creative ideas,” she shares — and express them she does, in stunning, surreal detail.

Her work draws deeply from the quirky and the curious: childhood toys, fairy tales, dolls, fun fairs, and vintage fashion. These dreamlike elements intertwine with references to Victorian, pin-up imagery, film iconography, and found objects. The result? A visual feast that is both playful and provocative — the perfect blend of sweetness and strangeness for the Halloween season.



Event Highlights:
