Work and recognition

Wang's paintings are noted for their poetic introspection and a recurring set of motifs including expansive landscapes, the sun, a red-clothed female figure, dogs, and horses. In 2018, the National Museum of History in Taipei held a retrospective exhibition of Wang's work titled By The Passing of A Thousand Sails, featuring a selection of his watercolour, ink, and oil paintings.
