Through his masterful compositions, Chen Wei navigates the ambiguity of subjective distortion, prompting reflection on the complexities of contemporary life.

Central to the exhibition is Chen Wei’s acclaimed series, “New City” which offers a poignant portrayal of the rapid evolution of Chinese megacities since the 1990s. Each image in this series captures the simultaneous manifestations of modernity, innovation, decay, and abandonment, evoking a sense of fascination tinged with melancholy. With meticulous attention to detail, Chen Wei creates urban landscapes frozen in time, reminiscent of scenes from a dream or memories suspended in the subconscious.
