The paintings of Wei Xiong's 'Unaltered Landscapes' are exuberant, mythic and boundless in their expansiveness and energy. Working with an alternately muted and sometimes bold and colorful palette, Xiong poses a series of questions within these mostly large-scale oil paintings - questions about mortality, our connectivity to the earth, and our often-complex relationship to the divine.

About the Author
Artist Wei Xiong live and works in Chengdu China and Los Angeles California. She's had numerous solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums in the USA and China. Her work has also been offered at auction in Beijing, China. Xiong's work is influenced by the Zen teachings and the thoughts of critic Donald Kuspit on spirituality and understanding the positive and negative space."I'm inspired by Zen's emptiness and Chinese calligraphy. My goal is to express un-realities and aliveness through darkness achieving the impact of significance."

Reviews

"Atmospheric drifts of colors seeping through wet spaces, floating poetic messages as coursing streams changing to transcendental shifts that are evocations of earlier conveyances. Muted flamboyant fires, subtle densities, and permeating tones flash soft fires in rising dashes. In Wei Xiong, we can see how ancient Chinese artists, were writers, whose calligraphy was the basis for traditional Chinese art."- By Art Journalist Amir Bey
