Wei Fu
Zoning Out
Date of exhibition: 2023 25 Oct.~2024 22 Jan.
Everyone needs to let off steam and rejuvenate!
Pick up a pen and, through poetry, transport yourself to the world of the past, let your mind wander!
Follow the wind, clouds and rain, sail on a leaf-like boat or listen to the conversations of the cows, be spontaneous!
Leave a blank space on a painting, relish your solitude, forget the chaos and cast away worries!
Words overlap with the imagination
In the calligraphy works, zone out your thoughts for a moment and forget things with me!
Creative Concept
Observing the calligraphy works, one can’t help but notice the bold and vigorous brushwork, often embodying elements of “xing (行), cao (草), kai (楷)” (walking script, running script, regular script), manifested through either an elegant and solemn demeanor or a robust and unrestrained flair. The characters and strokes carry a distinctive charm, woven seamlessly between the lines. Within each work there is a subtle meaning to convey; ink-splashed mountains and waters overlap in layers, allowing viewers to wander through magnificent landscapes while enveloped in profound silence. The enduring solitude of scholars over centuries remains unspoken but profoundly conveyed, as the tip of the brush articulates the vibrant emotions of literary figures and calligraphers with exquisite eloquence.
Introduction/ Wei Fu
Architect Wei Fu’s passion lies in penmanship, where he finds himself in a state of entrancement when holding a pen. With the nib of his pen, he traverses the exuberance and artistic freedom found in the works of classical and contemporary literary masters, from the Tang and Song dynasties to the present day. Through the art of imitation, he showcases the beauty of Chinese hard-tipped calligraphy, highlighting his unique qualities and the elegance of his script. Like the flowing clouds and water, this art form complements his extraordinary spirit.
