If we compare each solo exhibition of Hi Art Store to a kind of coffee, the micro-solo exhibition “Group Exhibition—Our Contradiction and Melancholy” of Yan Wei is just like a cup of thick icy Cappuccino, with exquisite foam and well structured, but still with a persistent aroma of itself.
Those works on paper in black and white interpret the trenchant illustrations as a brilliant thriller silent film. The end of the whole story was slowly unveiled in the breathtaking, contradictory, but not horrible clichés. It was a wrench for the audience to leave until the music of the end was played.
Yan Wei is just like a Aubrey Beardsley in fairy tale, combining with decadence and aestheticism. Pure colors enrich the visual impact influenced by complicated symbols, and the fine details make works more tensional.
Please come to Hi Art Store to enjoy this static “silence film” on June 2nd, and experience its contradiction and melancholy.
