Cross Arm Cheers--" 100 days"

Oil on Canvas 47x39 inch

 


  Liang Wei's work in his 2012 exhibition has taken a new perspective, moving away from mysterious images of dark and light to social statements about contemporary issues, such as the lonely policeman titled: “Where Are We Going.” Even the policeman seems to be lost. We see bold figures in his drinking series, like cross arm drinking and fisherman giving up their life's trade to become businessmen. “Cycle” is a painting that shows the return of the salmon but the fishermen are not there to cast their nets. Instead of noble fisherman they are now wealthy businessmen. The generational tradition is broken. The viewer can empathize and possibly see his own reflection in the images.
