Wei Jia: Dim Light On the Opposite Shore

Published by Blue Kingfisher

The paintings of Chinese painter Wei Jia (born 1975) often reference his youth spent in the theater where his father worked: solitary figures appear spotlit against a gloomy background. In this volume, reproductions of pages from Wei’s sketchbooks reveal his working process, and detail plates permit the viewer to examine his delicate brushwork up close.

Wei Jia: 2004-2008

Published by Blue Kingfisher

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.
