orn in 1960 in Shanghai, Zhao Dewei has played an important role in Qingdao’s art scene during the Chinese 85’ New Wave Movement. Leader of the local Young Artists Association, he organized outdoor exhibitions every Saturdays for over 3 years, giving Qingdaos’s artists a chance to showcase their works to the local audience.
At that time, he focused his research on Chinese writing and calligraphy. Through this experience, Zhao Dewei developed his abstract style of painting.
Zhao Dewei currently lives in Songzhuang, an artists’ village around Beijing. Inspired by Action Painting’s techniques, he has built up his own particular way of painting by squirting colours on the frame. This is why Zhao Dewei’s works are done on such a grand scale. Only by stepping back from the frame can the artist’s vision fully be appreciated.
Zhao Dewei’s works have been exhibited in different solo and group exhibitions in Beijing, Qingdao, Taiwan and in the China Fine Art Museum of Beijing in 1999. His paintings have also been presented at different art fairs, like Kaohsiung International Art Fair, Shanghai Art Fair, ShContemporary, and Art Beijing in 2007. |
