Liu Wei (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liu Wei (Chinese language:刘韡） (born 1972, China) is an artist based in Beijing.
He works in varied media - video, installation, drawing, sculpture, and painting - with no uniting stylistic tendency, though the Saatchi Gallery finds a uniting theme of "a sentiment of excess, corruption, and aggression reflective of cultural anxiety".[1]
His works have included his Super Structure series of model cityscapes constructed from dog chews; his Purple Air oil paintings of stylised skyscraper cityscapes; his Landscape Series of landscapes made from photographic composites of human buttocks; and Indigestion II, a two-metre model turd.
He has shown work in exhibitions including 21: World Wide Video Festival in Amsterdam, Cinema du Reel at the Pompidou Centre in France, Over One Billion Served at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, and Between Past and Future at the International Center for Photography in New York.
He is represented by the Courtyard Gallery in Beijing, the Jack Tilton Gallery[dubious ] in New York, and Asian Art Options in Singapore.
