Si Wentao
China Previews Gallery
511 W 25th StBeijing Dreams is Wentao’s first professional series of work created for an international market. Wentao makes his debut in the New York art market with a pallet of colors rivaled only by modern American graffiti artists. The use of florescent blues pinks and yellows induce a dream-like state as he re-interprets Beijing’s traditional landscape. The arching landscape and shifting trees in Military Museum, Beijing, creates a frenzied movement that represents the fast changing landscape of Beijing as it undergoes modernization. His iconic “green man” represents the alienation of the self has China becomes a growing economic machine.
Si Wentao, born in Shan Don Province, is a professional artist in Beijing and one of the rising starts in the new theme of political interpretation in artistic representation. Wentao’s subtle political innuendoes through skewed perspectives of famous Beijing architecture and repeated patterns of eerie smiling faces puts him in the league of such artist like, Zhang Xiaogang and Yue Minjun. Wentao is certainly an up and coming figure worth watching within the growing popularity of Asian Contemporary Art.
