Born in Sichuan Province in 1960, Guo Wei has exhibited internationally since 1988. His compositions are realistic, resembling photographs, yet
upon closer inspection they reveal disturbing distortions and indistinct facial expressions that may surprise the viewer. While his earlier
work primarily depicted children, Guo Wei's recent paintings record the awkward egotism of adolescence. But the essence of his painting, no
matter how distanced it may seem, turns on the treatment of private emotion. His latest works are executed in monochromatic tones that
intimately depict the subject of his daughter and friends.
