Wilson Shieh is a Hong Kong painter who specializes in Chinese brush painting, or gongbi. Although Shieh is using a technique that peaked in the year 800, he combines a sense of humour and a touch of surrealism within the traditional art form, intent on using the past to present contemporary themes. Shown here are three of Shieh’s most recent etchings, some of which touch on the topic of fecundity or the life cycle, an idea recurrent in his work.
