Amanda Wei Gallery participated at Taipei Dangdai 2019.

At the inaugural edition of the art fair in January of 2019 - we presented the artworks of Chinese artist Tan Ping.

Tan Ping is an artist, educator, and Vice President of The Chinese National Academy of Arts. He graduated from the Chinese Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1984. He studied in Germany in the late 1980s and got a master degree and a Meisterschule degree. He had also received a Doctor of Honor degree from Kingston University in the UK.

Tan Ping served as President of the school of design in Chinese Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Vice President of the same University. He is known as the leading figure of Chinese abstract art, the pioneer of contemporary Chinese art design, and the promoter of the development of Chinese experimental art.

In his 40 years of artistic practice, Tan Ping has always been exploring multiple fields such as painting, printmaking, multimedia, and design. He joins the many nodes of contemporary art into one through his ceaseless changes and powerful creations.

In collaboration with Sanlorenzo Yachts Asia (represented by Simpson Marine), Amanda Wei Gallery organized a special event: Art Talk with Zhou Chunya.

The event was a unique opportunity to present the famous Chinese contemporary artist to art lovers in a more personal, direct way. The artist also introduced the audience to the colorful nuances of his new Peach Blossoms series. 

Art Talk with Zhou Chunya opened with an introductory speech by Amanda Wei, before the artist took center stage for a frank discussion on a variety of topics - including the memories of his upbringing, the influence of the Cultural Revolution on his process of creation, and the sources of inspiration for his art. 

The event was a perfect prologue to Zhou Chunya's first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, titled "Peach Blossoms", which will be on display at our gallery until February 15.
