Details:
Artist: Guo Wei
Title: Untitled Series 6
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 40 x 30 cm
Description:
"Untitled Series 6" is an evocative portrayal that centers on a male figure depicted from a profile view. The artist's keen attention to detail is evident in the nuanced rendering of the subject's features, which are bathed in a warm and radiant palette dominated by pink and light hues. This chromatic choice creates a striking contrast against the nearly neutral background of dark blue-colored grey, highlighting the figure's form with a mesmerizing visual intensity.
Guo Wei's brushwork is both fluid and deliberate, demonstrating his profound understanding of form and composition. With just a few decisive strokes, the artist conveys the contours and dimensions of the figure, infusing the artwork with a sense of dynamism and energy. The loose yet purposeful brushwork allows the viewer to witness the artist's creative process, inviting them to explore the subtle intricacies of the subject's visage.
The captivating interplay between light and shadow further accentuates the figure's profile, creating a sense of depth and three-dimensionality. The artist's ability to manipulate light not only adds realism to the portrait but also enhances the emotional resonance of the artwork, evoking a mood of introspection and contemplation.
Condition Report:
The artwork is in overall good condition, preserving the artist's expressive brushwork and skillful use of oil paint. The canvas retains its texture and vibrancy, allowing viewers to appreciate the nuances of color and form that Guo Wei meticulously captured.
About the Artist:
Guo Wei, born in 1960, is from Chengdu, Sichuan. Graduated from the Printmaking Department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 1989 , now lives in Chengdu as a professional painter. Guo Wei's works express the idea that "familiar life customs are limited to a gaze that is both moving and almost stagnant". One of the representatives of the second generation of Chinese avant-garde art.
