Liu Wei (artist)

Liu Wei (Chinese language:刘韡） (born 1972, China) is an artist based in Beijing.

He works in varied media - video, installation, drawing, sculpture, and painting - with no uniting stylistic tendency, though the Saatchi Gallery finds a uniting theme of "a sentiment of excess, corruption, and aggression reflective of cultural anxiety". [ [http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/liu_wei.htm Liu Wei] , Saatchi Gallery]

His works have included his "Super Structure" series of model cityscapes constructed from dog chews; his "Purple Air" oil paintings of stylised skyscraper cityscapes; his "Landscape Series" of landscapes made from photographic composites of human buttocks; and "Indigestion II", a two-metre model turd.

He has shown work in exhibitions including "21: World Wide Video Festival" in Amsterdam, "Cinema du Reel" at the Pompidou Centre in France, "Over One Billion Served" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, and "Between Past and Future" at the International Center for Photography in New York.

He is represented by the Courtyard Gallery in Beijing, the Jack Tilton GalleryDubious|date=March 2008 in New York, and Asian Art Options in Singapore.
