Collection: GUAN WEI | Out of the Ordinary

As part of being human, we are curious about the universe and our place in it. We try to make sense of who we are, where we came from and where we are going. Guan Wei has long been on this quest in his tireless investigations of philosophy, religion, literature and science. But art is the ultimate form in which he shares his response to this quest with the world.

This exhibition is a selection of Guan Wei’s work over the last 12 years. Guan Wei’s pursuit has no limits – from the deepest oceans to the far corners of the universe, from the past to the future and from East to West.

In the ancient Chinese calendar, 12 years is one Ji (一纪 ). It also refers to sufficient time for a major journey. Guan Wei has imbued his works with a profound sense of mystery and wonder. He entices us to go beyond the ordinary, with him on this brilliant odyssey.
