Huang Wei

Huang Wei, after living and working in Tibet for 3 years, systematically sorted out Tibetan painting, and combined with his own solid foundation in ink painting, he created a new artistic expression language.

Huang Wei (b.1985) was born in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. Graduated in 2011 from the Chinese Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts with a Bachelor's degree. Graduated in 2014 from the School of Arts of Tibet University with a Master's degree. Currently lives and works in Beijing. The 3 years of living and working in Tibet allowed the artist to systematically sort out Tibetan painting, and combined with his own solid foundation in ink painting, he created a new artistic expression language. Using the traditional "collision color" technique of Chinese painting on xuan paper, he expresses a misty effect, then renders the structure of specific objects. The coloring process is mainly done with dry brush dotting, and finally some ""destructive"" texture strokes enrich the texture of the picture. The "dotting" technique, which originates from the traditional Thangka painting technique of Tibet, requires an extremely quiet state, repeated countless times, approaching a state of meditation, which is also consistent with the spiritual pursuit of the great achievers in the Himalayan region. Huang Wei's works have been exhibited in Tianjin Western Art Museum, Beijing Today Art Museum and Beijing Manet Grassland Art Museum.
