View Paintings and Exhibitions of Liu Wei - Chinese Artist
liu Wei was born on 1972 in Beijing, China. He lives and works in Beijing, China. liu Weis practice is uniquely varied. Working in video, installation, drawing, sculpture, and painting, there is no stylistic tendency which ties his work together. Rather liu perceives the artists function as a responsibility of unmitigated, uncensored expression, tied to neither ideology nor form. Throughout Lius work lies an engagement with peripheral identity in the context of wider culture; his works often describe a sentiment of excess, corruption, and aggression reflective of cultural anxiety.
Lius sculpture Indigestion II is a monumental poo. Spanning two meters, its a man-sized statement of rejection. Crafted with comic exaggeration, Lius turd is both repulsive and compelling; leaving no detail to the imagination, Liu offers too much information in the details. On closer inspection, half digested kernels emerge as hundreds of toy soldiers, spilling forth in an unmistakable sentiment of protest.
