Female artist's exhibition delivers elegance and tranquility
Wen Wei is noted for her productions of classical Chinese figure paintings of court ladies. [This caption applies to this and the next 7 paintings - All photos provided to China Daily]
Artist Wen Wei is noted for her works of classical Chinese mountain-and-water paintings done in xieyi style, ink figure paintings of court ladies and calligraphies in kuangcao (wild cursive) script, which vividly show her gift and hard work over the years.
An exhibition held from Jan 1 to Jan 5 at Rongbao Zhai in Beijing shows 60 works by Wen, in which she adopts minimalism and employs carefree strokes to illustrate the essence of her subjects.
Wen seeks to convey a philosophical touch, grounded on her extensive reading of classical Chinese texts and journeys to mountains and waters during which she feels connected with ancient art masters.

Her paintings of court ladies are exceptionally delicate while her landscapes are such a contrast to that.
Very nice work. Terrific artist.
In order to see the pictures much larger than I posted them, which I do to make them fit a page without having to scroll to see the whole thing, click on the "SEEDED CONTENT" link, but it will then be necessary to scroll up and down to see the whole picture, but the exquisite fine detail will be much clearer.
Gorgeous pics Buzz, a true artist in a very difficult style and medium...
(a note: on the pics, if you select full sized when you upload them, the software will reduce them to fit the page when viewing them in the article... A simple right click on the image, Open in New Tab, go to that tab and click on the pic with the plus sign mouse icon and it opens full size almost immediately and will save as full sized as well)
Yes, I've seen you use that technique when you post pictures on the Creative Arts grouip. I will try it next time when I'm faced with this situation.
Awesome work! Love the delicate hand of the artist.
AHHHH, to be that talented. Beautiful art pieces.
I have posted a link to this article on this weeks Three Day Weekend Feature.
Just beautiful.
