중국 남쪽의 작은 도시에서 태어난 '탕 웨이민 唐伟民' 은 여인의 초상화를 많이 그립니다. 그림 속 주인공은 갸름한 얼굴에 밝은 피부의 이국적 외모를 갖고 있습니다.

 

안테나가 달린 모자를 쓰기도 하고, 옷은 무거운 보석으로 장식했습니다. 전설이나 신화의 분위기가 느껴집니다. 어딘지 슬픈 듯한 표정의 그녀는 티베트인의 복장을 하고 있지만, 세상에는 없는 가상의 모델입니다. 그래서 작가는 자신의 그림은 초상화가 아니고, 과거의 문화와 현대생활을 연결하는 판타지라고 얘기합니다.

 

티베트라는 주제를 선택했지만 작가는 티베트를 가본 적이 없으며, 그림 속 여인은 작가의 마음 속의 유토피아이자 무릉도원이랍니다.

Tang Wei Min Chinese Artist: b. 1971. Tang Wei Min was born in 1971 in YongZhou, Hunan Province. In 1991 Tang graduated from the Art Department of Hunan Standard College, where he majored in Oil Painting. Since that time he is working as a professional oil painter. In 2001, Wei Min was accepted into a graduate study program of Oil Panting in Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. In the same 2001 his panting "Girl with fan" was sponsored by the school for the prestigious scholarship named after "Charles B.Wang”. The painting received second price at the exhibition organized for this scholarship and Wei Min received the scholarship. This work, now in private collection, also was selected for the May 2001 issue of "Chinese Oil Painting ". His another work "Summer dream" was displayed in the tryout of "China Oil Portray" exhibition. Yet another Tang's work "Peeping" was shown at the Present-day Oil Painting exhibition in the Hunan Province. In 2003 The Beijing Museum of Fine Art exhibited and purchased his painting. Tang is a practicing Zen Buddhist and his work full of symbols of Buddhism. Listings wanted.

 

I’ve long been fascinated with the cross-pollination of ideas and styles between the artistic traditions of Asia and Europe. Even though they are technically on the same continent they were effectively separate worlds for much of the time their artistic methods and traditions were developing.

 

Now, of course, the world is melting together, connected by strands of optic fiber and jet contrails, but the traditions are being maintained in some quarters and mixed in others

 

Tang Wei Min is an artist from Hunan Province in China who applies the painting styles and techniques of the European masters to subject matter drawn from the traditional costume and ceremonial dress of historic China.

 

In paintings that carry the feeling of Baroque era European painters, particularly Rembrandt, Tang Wei Min paints rich, incisive portraits of people in decorative robes and head dress (something Rembrandt himself was quite fond of), and at times, gives a nod to his inspirations by mimicing the composition of particular paintings by Rembrandt and others, including the pose from Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring.

 

I really enjoy his Rembrandtesque chiaroscuro and great chunks of impasto white highlights, combined with the fascinating clothing and intensely portrayed faces of his sitters.

 

I couldn’t find a dedicated web site for the artist; I came across his work on the Art Renewal Center, and with a little digging found that he is represented by a number of galleries in China and the U.S.
