Greatness Lives in the Ordinary

A scanographic reinterpretation of iconic modern artworks—reconstructed using everyday objects.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Donald Judd, Damien Hirst, Dan Flavin, and Brice Marden, Rui Wang reimagines their forms through a flatbed scanner, transforming plastic containers, foil, and household items into vibrant, digitized echoes of art history.

The scanner becomes both camera and collaborator, turning the mundane into luminous afterimages. This series explores how memory, material, and technology intersect—inviting viewers to question the boundaries between high art and the everyday, the original and the reimagined, the physical and the digital.
