Artist Profile

Weiwei Long

Weiwei Long’s artworks are a poetic fusion of Eastern sentiments and Western painting materials. His creations captivate viewers with their dynamic brushstrokes, transparent colors, and delicate nuances. His casual yet skillful strokes reveal his character and ease, seamlessly blending the vivid color reproduction of Western painting with the emotional expression of Chinese ink painting. This synthesis aims to convey profound meaning, achieving what can be described as “forgetting the form for the content” or “valuing meaning over form.” This results in a distinctive feature of his artworks—the “unfinished completion”—which invites viewers to engage in a creative dialogue and reinterpretation, appealing to both refined and popular tastes. His unique approach has garnered widespread recognition from peers and acceptance in the art market.

As an outdoor artist, Weiwei Long focuses on painting en plein air, sketching, and on-site creation. He believes that only in the vast studio of nature can an artist truly unleash their imagination and creativity. His sketching journeys span the length and breadth of China for decades, capturing various landscapes and terrains. His deep interaction with rural areas and grand landscapes is reflected in his paintings, which are rich in detail and evoke a tranquil, idyllic lifestyle against majestic backdrops. Full of empathy and nostalgia, Long’s works convey a deep connection to nature and humanity.

Weiwei Long is committed to creating art that resonates across time and place, believing that works capable of spreading further and lasting longer are truly vital. His art reflects a profound appreciation for the enduring beauty and emotional depth of the natural world, inviting viewers to share in his artistic journey and vision.
