• Notes:
  Guan Wei was born in Beijing China in 1957. He came to Australia for the first time in 1989, three years after graduating from the Department of Fine Arts at Beijing Capital University, where he received a very traditional artistic education, painting systematically from Impressionism to Postmodernism. From there he developed his own personal style. During these early years in Australia his paintings underwent obvious stylistic changes. His colour palette evolved, his forms became increasingly graphic and simplified, and Australian animals and western icons were incorporated into his search for a unique visual language that would combine his Chinese cultural background with his new home. He now lives and works in both Beijing and Sydney. He has been included in numerous important contemporary exhibitions in Australia and overseas, his work is held in major public Australian and International collections.
