Liu
WEI

Born in 1965 in Beijing, China, Liu Wei belongs to a generation of artists who grew up in the 1970s, a period of rapid urbanisation and environmental and social change. Considered one of the major figures of cynical realism, an artistic movement that satirises socio-political realities in opposition to dominant ideologies, Wei often stages the deviancies of the contemporary world in his paintings, installations, drawings, and sculptures.
