Catalogue of solo exhibition by Peng Wei, featuring her new series of traditional Chinese robe paintings on paper and silk. As one of the younger generation of Chinese contemporary artists who have taken a decidedly modern approach to the use of classical techniques, Peng Wei’s work displays a profound knowledge of the Chinese ink painting tradition, which she insists is still alive and constantly changing. While Chinese robes may have become remnants of a bygone era, they appear in Peng Wei’s paintings charged with fresh narratives and contexts – an indication of the artist’s self confessed fascination with the ‘lost and beautiful’ items of the past. Artist biography is provided in the present catalogue.
