LI WEI & LIU ZHIYIN

Drawing inspiration from traditional Oriental culture and incorporating contemporary sculptural experiences, they use visual forms to bring about transcendent spiritual insights. They work with colour trends used in fashion and the traces of sensations that can reach the soul through sight. They incorporate the temperament emitted by their sculptural language into the spirit of traditional Oriental culture and integrate current human experience into it. The poetic nature in their works reflects people’s pursuit of ideals in modern times, stimulating communication and resonance between the viewers and the artworks.

In this thoroughly curated exhibition, not only will they be showcasing fifty over sculptures made in materials ranging from cast bronze and stainless steel, to white marble, but also reveal their ten latest creations for the first time. One of them being a monumental piece titled Soar to the Skies, which stands over 250cm tall. Graceful and majestic, this artwork marks the beginning of a new series for the duo.

In contrast to the calm materials and restrained colours, the sculptures of Li Wei & Liu Zhiyin are full of agility, allowing viewers to feel the atmosphere around their sculpted figures, as if experiencing the natural light, shadows, and flow of the wind. They invite viewers to join them in listening to the Whispers of the Wind.
