Li Wei

Listen to the Snow

Eng. In Li WEI’s works, mist envelops the trees’ naked branches. Listening to the Snow, a series of landscapes painted with black ink applied onto white silk as small dots and dashed lines that dilute into an endless range of grey tones, explores the silence of a landscape or the splendid radiance of winter light.

Fr. Chez Li WEI, la brume enveloppe les branches dénudées des arbres. A l’écoute de la neige, série de paysages peints à l’encre noire diluée sur de la soie blanche, par petits points et traits discontinus déclinés en une infinie gamme de gris, explore le silence du paysage ou la splendide radiance de la lumière hivernale.
