Jingqi Wang Steinhiser is a multi-media painter born in China and raised in Mongolia. Jingqi received her MFA in painting at Rhode Island School of Design(RISD) and BFA in painting at School of the Art Institute of Chicago(SAIC). 

Jingqi grew up as the only child in a family of diplomats, a learning journey that mutated across geographies. Born in China, she lived a nomadic life in Russia, Mongolia and Korea before coming to the USA. Her world is an aesthetic amalgamation of dissonant cultures. Like topos in poetry, animals totems and distorted objects in her work act like modes of significations. Jingqi's current work looks at animal patterning, gaming designs and power structure behind pop cultural symbols and scenarios in late capitalism. Her paintings are uncanny and survey the denial of narration and the interruption of the audience’s act of reading through an interwoven relationship of surface environment and humor.
