Wei Jia:Recent work

Wei JIA RECENT WORK October 15 to December 15

The works in this exhibition are all collages on paper, and almost none of them are painted with a brush. The materials used in the collages are all fragments preserved from the painting process of different periods in the past, thus the process of creating these collages is like reviving the past and giving them new significance. Some of the scattered thoughts and flashbacks that arise from process of working are recorded directly onto the works, written in my calligraphy. I like the way that’s combined painting, poetry and calligraphy in my work, with simplest method of collage to point a direction. Then viewer will see the moon without staring at my finger.
