Spellbound by Shi Wei
description:With its reform and liberalisation, Chinese society has undergone tremendous changes in the past few decades. Instead of valorising labour as the sole worthy object of pursuit as in the past, its women are now turned towards consumption, fashion and desire.In the tradition of the painting of women, as pioneered by Tang dynasty master painters such as Zhang Xuan and Zhou Fang in the history of Chinese art, Shi Wei’s work holds up women as icons of beauty that reflect the prevailing aesthetic fashions of the age, and reveals the impact of contemporary social changes on the worldview of women in China. |
