The artist wants to establish a form that unfolds slowly, allowing painting's possibilities to gradually emerge over time—exploring its depths, pushing its limits, and reorganizing familiar elements within painting. This process elevates them from a frozen past to an expression of the present. It is not about realism but about making illusions believable, much like the enchantment of magic. Through conceptually set scenes, fragments of daily life, art history, anecdotes, and mythology intertwine within the work, ultimately taking shape as a visual form.

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.

In his creations, he continues the previous Chinese artist's thinking about still life, and maximally dissolves the color, replacing it with a renewed cognition of the object, and an understanding of the shape, volume, and even the essence of the object, using the most simple materials and methods to dig into the most easily overlooked aspects of everyday still life.

Based on  field research to explore the relationship between ancient tradition and modern society.

Zeng Hong was born in Ziyang, Sichuan in 1974. He graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. Now lives and works in Beijing. The experiences of collectivist factory life permitted his unique way of expression.
