東八時區(qū)(798)榮幸宣布《魏青吉》新書首發(fā)。在首發(fā)式上，魏青吉先生將耀臨致詞。
作為“實驗水墨”大潮中的一員，魏青吉的作品和藝術(shù)觀念不僅與“實驗水墨”中同伙拉開了很大的距離，而且也和時下流行的藝術(shù)圖式很不一樣。
作為七十年代出生的青年藝術(shù)家，魏青吉的作品具有一種開放、寬廣的文化視野，這主要體現(xiàn)在他對流行文化中各種圖像隨心所欲的利用和編排上，還有就是他在水墨媒材上所做的各類花樣翻新的實驗。
魏青吉的繪畫綜合混雜了街頭涂鴉、表現(xiàn)主義、波普、情色文化和文人墨戲等多種文化元素，使之具有一種“眾聲喧嘩”的心理效果，他的藝術(shù)將視覺觀看與生理感覺有機的融合在一起，代表了一種基于身體感覺的大眾快感文化的興起和七零后一代的文化立場。

About the Artists (for more information about Wu Yi, visit http://www.timezone8.com/wuyi.htm):
Born in Qingdao in 1971, Wei Qingji is among the leading 'experimental ink' painters in contemporary art in China. Trained in ink at Nankai University, Wei Qingji has over the last ten years created a personal aesthetic that in its incongruity of form and content seems ironic, but not crude. While his materials are traditional, their multi-form application and ironic message are anything but. Nor is his work rehashed postmodern pastiche resulting in a signature style. Rather, his 'ink experiments' avoid the irony that comes from repetition and stylization. His ouevre resists easy classification as it varies from a stark blank field with graffiti-like brushwork, to a charcoal black ink Matterhorn against a Ruscha-esque Hollywood sky, to a cartoon mise-en-scene line-drawn in a Shanghai modernist 'xieyi' style from the 1930s.
His works have been included in various prominent exhibitions such as the Second Annual Chengdu Biennale and the International Chinese Ink Painting Exhibition at the Asian Cultural Center in New York. He was one of only two ink artists represented by the renowned curator Hans Van Dijk. He is currently teaching at the College of Art in South China Normal in Guangzhou.
