About

Shi Wei

Shi Wei's work strongly comments on the modern women, noting the growing trend of openness in female Asian sexuality, nevertheless caught up in the need to conform. The ambiguity of the female experiences is at the very core of the artist's exploration in his works. The image in his canvas appears unmistakably familiar, the ideal skinny woman, donning covers of women's magazines or selling men's products. However, the women here are not those envied and fetichized in turn by men and women, they are not images, but vulnerable, real selves of women today.
