Gu Wenda, "Oedipus Refound #9", China, 1992

About the Item

Gu Wenda (1955), "Oedipus Refound #9", Watercolor on paper, Signed, dated and titled in the bottom right corner, China, 1992. Measures: 56 x 75 cm. Gu Wenda (born 1955, Shanghai) is a contemporary artist from China who lives and works in New York City. Much of his works are themed around traditional Chinese calligraphy and poetry. His works also often use human hair. Gu is most well known for his use of pseudo-languages in most of his works. Ever since the exhibition of Chinese Painting Invitational in Wuhan City in 1984, Gu’s large scale ink paintings have been increasingly exhibited. His first personal exhibition was closed by the authorities to public audiences before the opening because of the invented, fake, miswritten Chinese characters, and printing style calligraphy. After investigation it reopened only to the professional art circuit. The works from this show are regarded as the beginning of conceptual ink art in china.
