Dear Wang Shuibo:
I am a Hungarian American visual artist and folk researcher, dancer residing in the USA. I came across your work and the Shun Art Gallery via my artist colleague Austin Stiegemeier.
I love your strong works and the themes, topics you use. I had the fortune to visit China 8 years ago, and I got a glimpse at some of the more political and social-oriented art works in a few cities.
If I am in Japan again, I hope to visit the Shun Art Gallery.
Best regards,
Ildikó Kalapács
