Zhang Wei (张伟) is a Beijing-based artist born in 1984 in Pingdingshan, Henan Province, China. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the Mural Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing in 2010 and 2014. Using mineral paints on canvas, his works trick the eye into seeing shadows and depth with soft gradients and shading. His geometric compositions are based on the idea of folding, overlapping, and layering, creating dimensionality that lies somewhere between the planar and spatial.
Zhang Wei has participated in a number of group exhibitions in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, as well as in international art fairs such as Art Central Hong Kong and Tokyo Art Fairs. The works of a young artist have received recognition internationally when entered one of the world’s most prestigious White Rabbit Art Collection in Sydney, Australia.
