Contemporary Chinese artistPeng Weiputs a spin on tradition with her paper sculptures of female torsos.
It’s something that distinguishes her from many other contemporary Chinese ink painters.
They have imagined tradition as an enemy, so they must break through it again.
But for Peng, tradition evolves.
In my eyes, there is no unified artistic concept; there are only personal concepts.
Tradition is private and not to be found in a textbook.
It is living, and still slowly developing; it is not past and lifeless.
