Xiong Wei

Formerly a fashion designer based in Los Angeles, Xiong Wei dabbles careful compositions in the expressive language of visual poetry. Subtle beds of hazy shading give way to dynamic scribbles and crystalline watery slopes. Characterized by slithering ribbons of pigment intersecting atmospheric color fields and delicious void space, Xiong’s paintings on linen and canvas hold impressive psychological weight. At once densely cerebral and momentously abstract, through subtle color gradation, meandering lines and galloping clouds of shadow Xiong Wei’s paintings evidence a brilliant marriage of the artist’s worldly wisdom, metaphysical leanings and painterly expertise.
