About the Item
Ren Wei Heng offers a profound glimpse into the human experience through her unique artistic lens. Her journey, from battling severe health issues and psychological disorders to finding solace and insight in the observation of people and plants, shapes the narrative of her work.
Enrolling in the New Media Art Department at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan marked the beginning of Ren Wei Heng's artistic exploration. However, her path took an unexpected turn when she faced debilitating health challenges and psychological distress. Despite the initial diagnosis of an anxiety disorder, Ren Wer Heng's perseverance led her to uncover the true nature of her condition- a delayed onset allergy. This transformative experience has left an indelible mark on her psyche, instilling in her a sense of detachment that permeates her artistic expression.
Ren Wei Heng's artworks delve into two main themes: the observation of people and the contemplation of plants. In her photographs, she assumes the role of a silent observer, capturing the essence of human interactions and the vitality of natural growth. "The Plant" series, characterized by dark tones and intricate compositions, invites viewers to explore the beauty and complexity of botanical life. Each photograph reveals a world of textures, shapes, and colors, inviting contemplation and introspection.

Ren Weiheng studied at the Brera Academy in Milan from 2008 to 2012. Then she focused on photography. She was misdiagnosed with "anxiety disorder" due to physical illness for more than ten years, and she was treated strangely, making her alienated from others, which is reflected in her works. Most of her works take "observation" as the theme, observing plants and people. In Ren Weiheng's works, inexpressible plants are life with "character", while "people", the same as inanimate buildings, rivers, lakes, and mountains, are components of the world.

ABOUT:
In her ninth solo show at the Robin Rice Gallery, veteran artist Patricia Heal documents her visual narrative of their enchanted home in upstate New York. Hidden within untouched forests lies Peabrook, a babbling brook running through the property. The classic architecture of the house is offset by uniquely quirky interiors designed by the English-born Patricia and her husband, Anthony Cotsifas, which generate an otherworldly existence within the estate. “Peabrook is my Neverland,” Heal states, in reference to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. “It is a fictional place often described as a metaphor for eternal childhood.” Heal hopes that, with just a visit to the gallery and a little imagination, you, too, can see Peabrook.
Her use of the large format, now-extinct Polaroid film for her black and white photographs, and the warm soft colors found in many of the other pieces of the collection, contribute to the sense of antiquity and fantasy surrounding Peabrook. The whimsical subject matter, including mythical creatures and extensive taxidermy, complete the “magical” representation of Heal’s home that she strove to depict. The simply framed 4” x 5”, 5” x 7” and 8” x 10” photographs sit within large mattes, in keeping with the classical quality of her images. “I really wanted to work in film again, and this project seemed the right one to do it with,” says Heal, who lists Sarah Moon and André Kertesz as artistic inspirations.
The dark and mysterious invitational image, “Willow”, depicts a portrait of a hooded woman, her downward gaze partially obstructed by the soft branches of a fern from the surrounding garden.
The earth-toned image contains the unpredictable streaked effect of developed instant film.
In another image, entitled “Sitting Room”, we see a positive image of a film negative. Most notable is the hanging rhinoceros head towering impressively over two antique sitting chairs...
