Details
ZHU WEI (B. 1966)
Utopia No. 65
Scroll, mounted and framed
Ink and colour on paper
118 x 119.5 cm. (46 ½ x 47 in.)
Zhu Wei studied at the People’s Liberation Army of Art, Beijing Film Academy, and the China Institute of Art. As one of the internationally-recognised pioneers of Chinese contemporary art, he often engages with his background in classical Chinese painting by using the fine brush (gongbi) technique in his whimsically painted, socio-political artworks. Reflective of his life during the Cultural Revolution, Zhu Wei’s Utopia is a series that emphasises both the innocence and hopelessness of the era.
