Liang Wei
Liang Wei "Geography of the Soul"
Liang Wei
February 11, 2015 - March 7, 2015
6:00 - 8:00 pm

       We are pleased to celebrate our 20 year relationship with the renowned Chinese artist, Liang Wei and bring in the 2015 Chinese New Year with a new exhibit.

This new exhibit of paintings by Liang Wei titled "Geography of the Soul" takes us a bit further than just a painted scene. We dream, we visualize and we participate in experiences that influence our lives and create food for the soul. Remembrances of a moment ago or déjà vu from an undetermined origin are often pleasant and comforting thoughts and it is those heartwarming and pleasant memories that Liang Wei strives to capture on canvas with his paintings. The visual language of the landscape translated from his eye to baron canvas results in the beauty that awakens the soul to act.

Landscape paintings are common throughout the world and every region has its beauty that has been captured by artists for centuries. In art history, it isn't new that an artist in one culture has ventured off to another part of the world to explore and create in a foreign environment where cultural influences and visual stimulation change perspectives in the way subject matter is viewed.  New experiences, new surroundings and new methodology are all influences with any immigrant, as it is so, with the artist Liang Wei.
