Li Wei… or the Highway
All photos via the artists' website
I’ve noticed that Designboom, a regular source of interesting ideas, images and other forms of inspiration that , seems predisposed to the work of Chinese contemporary artists. [Or should that be contemporary Chinese artists? Does the differing emphasis suggest that these are two entirely different categories of artist? Food for thought...]
Anyway, they’ve brought my attention to Li Wei, whose work I had previously encountered in Wallpaper’s China Issue from last summer. Designboom focuses on his ongoing “Li Wei Falls To The…” series of photos, which capture the essence of his oeuvre, though I would also add that it’s worth checking out the rest of his work on his website.
