He is the kind of artist who deeply feels human existence. When I first saw his paintings, I was deeply moved by his dedication to sharing his life experiences. He has liberated himself from tradition. Our collaboration with Chi Wai began in 2016. Before that, I had some experience collaborating with other painter friends. But this time was completely different. The works we completed with Chi Wai were true works of art, not just an experiment. To my surprise, we didn\u2019t realize that two people had mixed together to paint a picture, but it turned out to be such a good new work. It was a great moment of communication, a very rich response to each other\u2019s claims. We plan to continue this collaboration, I am very happy, we must constantly update our work and our thinking.\u201d \u2013 Marie Rauzy<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

After learning about Chi Wai&#8217;s works, several of us mentioned the similarities between him and C\u00e9zanne. In fact the two men did not have many similarities in paintings, but the fact that C\u00e9zanne\u2019s lifelong persistence in art made his achievements surpass all other painters of the same period and became a celebrated artist remembered by the times.

First, he did not come from an art background, and was once a successful financial expert; second, he devoted a great deal of energy to artistic creation, and his works are numerous; third, his works consistently maintain his personal style, always holding a strong worldly sentiment, with a feeling of pathos running through them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13d5654 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"13d5654\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Chi Wai, as a commoner, engages in creation, yet he rejects the beautiful and the elegant, always facing society, holding a critical eye on the times, placing ethics in his works, using a free and expressive brushstroke to depict the current scene, and attempting to give people a visual and moral awakening. This shows that his art is not for aesthetic purposes, but a visual critique. He never indulges in pointless lamentations, nor does he limit himself to his own sorrow. The reason for this, I believe, is that life is always the theme of his art, transforming a profound insight gained through experience into a powerful emotion, thus giving his works an almost innate power. This is precisely the origin of his pathos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20194e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20194e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Chi Wai, with a rare critical spirit and severity, faces the changing China and the world, making his own moral critique. He hopes to use this as a basis to preach a message of great love to the world, as well as personal stories closely related to human nature. His unique life experiences make his art equally unique. I once called this uniqueness the &#8220;Chi Wai phenomenon&#8221; in an article. What I mean is that, at least for now, I have not seen anyone, even in the art world, who uses such force, such persistence, such a frenzied brushstroke, to keep his eyes on life, to take human nature as his subject of observation, and to make his works keep pace with the development of the times, and to highlight the changes in his emotions as history rises and falls. Obviously, in our great and ancient country, there is a person who, with a childlike heart, does childlike things, without regard for the thoughts of others, without making pointless aesthetic moans, without making uninspired depictions, but carrying pathos through to the end.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46e8950 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46e8950\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Chi Wai&#8217;s works, in terms of theme, are often expressed through human figures. His figures in paintings always have a sense of expressive staring, under an appearance close to madness, they contain stillness or even silence, silently facing their own encounters with the world, facing the suffering that is happening, there is a sense of suffering in them. His works have strong color contrasts, often without regard for the visual balance between color blocks, even intentionally destroying this balance, allowing the desire for expression to rise to the appropriate form. In terms of quantity, Chi Wai paints a lot, a lot, and there are new works every year. However, I always feel that we should treat all his works as one. What I mean is that his creation has a high degree of internal consistency. This also creates a characteristic of his work display, that is, a wall of portraits, from a distance is a flashing group, making you fascinated; up close, it is a specific individual, each time staring at you, making you think, making you speechless, making you dialogue with the work in space, and experiencing pathos in the dialogue. This shows that Chi Wai unintentionally broke the neurosis of single-piece works. All his works come together, mirroring each other, howling at each other, creating a strange atmosphere on the scene. The meaning of his works is truly amplified in this howling atmosphere, giving pathos a shape, and thus pointing directly to the heart.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93536c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93536c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The reason for this is that Chi Wai first questions himself, then starts from his heart, and finally, with a compelling style, implements pathos itself.

Second, he has devoted a great deal of time to artistic creation, producing many outstanding works of art. Furthermore, his works not only maintain a unique personal style, but also consistently reflect a strong emotion towards reality, an emotion characterized by a pervasive sense of melancholy.\u201d
