Play on the Beach - Guan Wei
A new exhibition by renowned artist Guan Wei at Martin Browne Contemporary celebrates the Tao of the beach: mark it down as a joyful, significant moment in Australian art history, says Susie Burge
Guan Wei lives between two cultures, two countries, two hemispheres … two worlds. His art has a keen morality. It is often luminous. Quirky. Clever. Humorous. Philosophical. Environmental. Socio-politically aware. Symbolic, referential, with strong elements of fable. Exhibitions of his work in Australia and China have included multi-panel paintings that meditate on rising sea levels, colonialism, the concept of home, and even the art of idleness. He’s had numerous solo shows, been included in important international biennials (and triennials), has won several awards and is represented in major public, corporate and private collections, including the National Gallery of Australia and the collection of actress Cate Blanchett who opened his current exhibition at Martin Browne Contemporary, “Play on the Beach”.
