Liang Wei:

Booth: C9

Dates: 2026.5.21–5.24

In this constantly changing society, artists need to maintain awareness and understanding of themselves and their surroundings. This sense of uncertainty reflects precisely where Liang Wei is working toward.

Perhaps the most direct way to convey an artist’s struggle and sense of change is to present the process of creation itself. Liang undergoes a shift in her painterly language after producing hundreds of small pieces on paper—a metamorphosis she has been compelled to undergo. Through this body of new works, she generates an almost infinite range of forms: objects may become organisms, and organisms may take on human shapes.

What structures this creative process is the dissolution of traditional categories: subject and object, human and nature, inside and outside, as well as order, classification, and control. There is no single center, nor any fixed form. Instead, there is an aggregation of small, fluid units. They are decentralized, non-hierarchical, and driven by a vitality that resists any singular origin or stable form.

Today, an artist’s anxiety and struggle are often regarded as central to their identity and work. The sense of unease permeating the strange and unfamiliar creatures in Liang’s work reflects such a struggle. Placing her recent works alongside those created only eighteen months ago makes her transformation clearly visible—perhaps also reflecting how much the world around her has already changed.
