Portrait of a Not-so-Respectable Lady Bat | Xue Wang

From the “Echo of Life” Collection
Original Painting / Limited Edition Prints Available

Portrait of a Not-so-Respectable Lady Bat is a delightfully dark and whimsical work from Xue Wang’s Echo of Lifecollection, blending Gothic elegance with surreal humour.

The portrait depicts a lady of poise and mischief, wearing a bat skeleton like a necklace, transforming a macabre detail into a statement of style and personality. Wang’s masterful attention to texture, detail, and narrative elevates the piece beyond mere portraiture, creating a scene that is both playful and haunting.

Rendered in her vintage-surrealist style, the painting invites viewers to explore the tension between refinement and the fantastical, the elegant and the eerie — hallmarks of Wang’s imaginative world.
