Ma Wei-Hong
Chinese Contemporary Art by Ma Wei-Hong - My Woods Are Like A Lost Youth

2017

About the Item

Acrylic on fabric Ma Wei-Hong is a Chinese artist born in 1977 who lives & works in Songzhuang, Beijing, China. She is graduated from Shanxi Yuncheng College of Art. Ma pursued advanced studies in the Mural Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing (CAFA). She belongs to Chinese Neo-Expressionnism movement. The style and appearance of Ma's current works reveals that her intention is to uphold the purity of motivation by abolishing theme. From paintings of Ma Wei-Hong, we can see the predicament of our era. By employing the narrative form like a personal diary and the seemingly random scribble, she conveys the anxiety, restless, decadence, fear and ethical entanglement of our society and our personal existence to viewers in a way like a code word. In watching these paintings, we will fall into deep thought and feel uneasy. Behind the ambiguous images, something is unpredictable and disturbing, the things seem to exist in our dreams but in the meantime, they are so similar to the real world we live in and seems to be the cause that we can be uncomfortable and lead to hypothetic conjectures. When we see the titles of Ma's paintings, we are likely definitely to find some enigmatic things.

  • Gyre
    Located in Detroit, MI
    Gyre acrylic, spray paint on canvas 80" x 96" 2022 Part of the New Minority Series Dennis Jones was first introduced to the use of a bidet while being extremely ill in Hurghada, Egypt. He has played the game of ‘Jenga’ with prostitutes in Phuket, Thailand. Once he hiked down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon from the North Rim and back in twelve hours. Jones has also visited fifty US National Parks. The work of Dennis Jones is growth oriented. There is diversity among his oeuvre and much risk in such an approach. Eschewing a ‘signature style’ that he considers to be boring, creatively limiting and market driven, he prefers to consider how method and expression intermingle and form a conceptual basis. A cursory glance may consider his prodigious output to lack focus, but a deeper reading reveals that he remains true to himself and allows his work to take him where it needs to go. There has always been the presence of a figure in his work, either implied, or directly visible. One can trace several years of development from his interest in figurative and cartoon-like imagery in, Toyland (2006), through his foray into text based work (2007-13) and a later influence of abstraction (2012-18). Following this trajectory brings one to his current body of work that combines figuration, cartoons and abstraction. He is a visual artist, educator, and architect. Each of the ‘hats’ he wears directly influence his work. He states that ‘a fascination with an integration of material, process and expression, truth of emotion and visually communicating thought are what sustain and drive him as an artist. Jones has participated in over seventy solo and group shows that include local, national and international venues. His creative output includes paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, videos, photos, books, teaching and residential architecture. Jones’ work was selected to be included in the New American Paintings 2019 Midwest Competition Publication, juried by Staci Boris, Associate Director of Exhibitions, School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Currently, his focus is on a growing body of paintings, in mixed media, on canvas that combine abstraction, figuration and cartoon imagery. Jones had a one person exhibition at the University of Michigan in September through December of 2018. A review of the show can be read on the page titled, Candyland Review. Earlier the same year, He curated an exhibition titled, SIX, that opened in January of 2018, at The Janice Charach Gallery; a five thousand square foot space, located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. The exhibition featured the work of six Detroit artists and provided adequate space for each to show a body of work…essentially six individual shows in one space. Selected venues that have shown Jones’ work include: The OK Harris Gallery, New York; Galerie Protege, NY; The Mary Washington Galleries, Mary Washington University, Fredericksburg, Maryland; The Kraft Lieberman Gallery, Chicago; The Drift Gallery, Portsmouth, NH; The Project Room, Lincoln, NE; The Art Gallery of Windsor, Windsor, Canada; Artcite, Windsor, CA; The Thames Gallery, Chatham, Ontario, Canada; The Kenderdine Art Gallery, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, CA; Definitely Superior Gallery, Thunder Bay, ON, CA; Gallery Lambton, Sarnia, ON, CA, WKP Kennedy, North Bay...
