LI WEI and LIU ZHIYIN: Whispers of the wind

Singapore

2024.06.22 - 08.18

Whitestone Gallery Singapore is honoured to present the exhibition Whispers of the Wind by the Chinese artist duo Li Wei & Liu Zhiyin. This exhibition marks their largest and first-ever solo exhibition in the Southeast Asia region.

Born in 1980, both artists graduated from the Luxun Academy of Fine Arts. Li Wei specialised in sculpture, while Liu Zhiyin focused on fashion design. Their works result from their compelling artistic language; Li Wei represents the 'body', while Liu Zhiyin represents the 'form.' [The 'form' imbues the 'body' with essence, energy (qi), and spirit, intertwining the 'body' with the 'form']. Collaboratively, their work narrates themes on the beauty and grandeur of sculpture.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Oriental culture and incorporating contemporary sculptural experiences, they use visual forms to bring about transcendent spiritual insights. They work with colour trends used in fashion and the traces of sensations that can reach the soul through sight. They incorporate the temperament emitted by their sculptural language into the spirit of traditional Oriental culture and integrate current human experience into it. The poetic nature in their works reflects people's pursuit of ideals in modern times, stimulating communication and resonance between the viewers and the artworks.
