BLUE KINGFISHER
Wei Jia: 2004-2008
Much admired by the younger art audience in China, Wei Jia (born 1975) makes thickly textured paintings of what he describes as "radically sanguine" themes, generally of a personal or somewhat bittersweet nature, and often allegorical (a young man holding a bouquet in one hand, and scattering petals with the other); strongly individualistic, they project both melancholy and wonder.
