Dual Solo Exhibition of HE Wei & TANG Maohong

2019.11.16 - 2019.12.22

HE Wei
Dual Solo Exhibition, ShanghART Beijing, Beijing

This show indicates He Wei’s recent explorations on abstract painting. Through repeated superimposition and infiltration, the washes of pigment on He’s canvas merge into chaos, while the slowly rising geometric shapes and the fleeting traces of “strong light” modulate the whole picture in a singular way. Persistently experimenting with abstract planes, colours and lines, the artist is looking for transitions between the intertwined sense and sensibility, as well as ways to confront the contradictions and opposites of the two qualities.

About Artist

HE Wei

He Wei was born in Xinjiang in 1980 and graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Oil Painting Department in 2005. He currently lives and works in Beijing. He Wei's mysterious abstractions investigate interior landscapes of the mind and heart. Through a process of applying many translucent layers of oil paint onto canvases lying on the floor random expressionistic color fields are created sometimes with broken geometric structures floating on the surface.
