We wander, in separate worlds: Rao Weiyi Solo Exhibition

16 July - 26 August 2022
Press release
A Thousand Plateau Art Space is pleased to launch Rao Weiyi's solo exhibition "We wander, in separate worlds". As a young artist of a new generation, Rao Weiyi transforms the unique texture of online images into experimental painting language. He does not rely on descriptions of such popular concepts as "Post Network" or "Metaverse", but highlights the fragmented visual logic with the lack of clarity, collage, and absurdity that is unique to network images. At the same time, he restores the electronic texture of the image by painting, copies the visual characteristics of pixels with strokes and pigments, and brings different combinations of colors, textures, and composition, thus turning painting into a creative visual "replica". This reminds viewers of the basic aesthetic logic of Pop Art, but relies more on a traditional and personalized "painterliness" derived from classic modernism.
