About the ArtistPhoto Gallery
SINGAPORE - Having staged numerous successful exhibitions in his home country of China and in various parts of Europe, award-winning artist Wang Weixin (First Prize at Washington Arts Festival, 1987) will, for the first time in his colourful creative career, hold a rare solo-exhibition in Singapore. Famed for being China’s leading watercolourist and copper-etching artist, Wang will also be gracing the opening of this exhibition aptly named “The Art of Wang Weixin” on 22 nd of March 2007 at iPRECIATION. Wang’s art is widely collected in several prestigious European and Asian museums including the Contemporary Museum of Arts in Laverune, France and the Wenzhou Museum in China.
Masterfully capturing the poignant elements of a capricious instant and fluently articulating his innermost contemplations, Wang creates art that is not merely visually captivating but is art that will lure viewers into its immediate presence. Wang’s extraordinary gift in “Freehand Sketching”, which stresses on how touching moments can be recorded swiftly through meticulous observation, enables him to secure the most stirring scenes in his art; with the supplement of colours, his watercolour paintings are vivid expressions of beautiful memories in time.
In Wang’s own words:
“Whenever I see scenes or objects that move me, I tend to be so moved that I’ll be at a loss. If I can quickly sketch the lines, I’ll feel consoled. Then I’ll apply some lively watercolours to give it more life…”
[Abstract from RomanticSentiments, the Aesthetic Realm of Art: Theory of Wang Weixin’s Art]
Such undeniable talent and devotion to his art undoubtedly isolates him from the mainstream, propelling him to a league of its own.
“The Art of Wang Weixin” will showcase an estimated 30 pieces of Wang’s brilliant artworks created between 1950s and 2006. It is indeed a special event that should not be missed!
