“As an Asian artist residing in the West, I often wonder how to express the special experiences I have had, and to create space that gives plenty of free play to the viewer’s imagination. My landscape strong represents my philosophy and my basic creative intent. I have lived in Seattle more than 20 years, and travel by car almost every where in the State. The splendid scenery of this place, the poetic embrace of mountains, flat or hills with water are always coming back to my attention. I piece together these fragments, these moments of beauty. I try to reclaim such moments that get lost in the bustle, to reawaken our vision of where we live; I wish to inspire people to appreciate our living environment, which leads our aspirations to reality.”
“Moody, thoughtful and alluring are a few words that are frequently used to describe the paintings of Liang Wei as he wanders the west coast of the United States capturing landscapes and western culture.
Not a realist, not a Naturalist and not an Impressionist, Liang Wei is a “Moodist.” The impressionists wanted to capture the moment, Liang Wei captures a mood. ”
