A Clearing: Zhang Wei Solo Exhibition
Duration: 2019.4.20 - 6.6
Location:Fine Arts Literature Art Center

The empty and calm scenery of the new city and the ordinary daily life of the world made up a kind of "bland". I drove the slow car through the sparsely populated streets to kill time. After returning to the studio, I recorded what I heard and saw with lines. The wood cut three-dimensional work is an extension of those lines.

"A Clearing: Zhang Wei Solo Exhibition" will open on the evening of April 19, 2019 at Fine Arts Literature Art Center. This exhibition is the artist Zhang Wei's first solo exhibition.
Zhang Wei's works are the real representation of his personal experience and the re-release of his original emotions, depicting a "rationality of life" with the precision of "moments". Zhang Wei said that in the process of creation, he has both persistence and compromise. Insistence is the true expression of his heart, and compromise is active, is the subtraction of his artistic techniques. When viewing Zhang Wei's works, it is often easy for the viewer to have "memory resonance". The scene setting and time of his works have a strong sense of bringing people into one piece of life after another. Starting from prints, artists often create monochrome blocks. This kind of works explains the universality of "existence". In the case that "existence" is not clear, the artist uses images to describe his and the viewer's self-recognition of "existence".
When sorting out the artist's works, Fine Arts Literature Art Center curated the exhibition with the artist's creative clues and the visual presentation of "point to line, point to surface". The solo exhibition includes the artist's works in different materials, such as pencil sketches, oil paintings on paper and wood carvings, and will be displayed simultaneously in the large exhibition hall on the third floor and the small exhibition hall on the fourth floor.
