1975 年出生于四川成都,1999 年毕业于北京中央美术学院版画系,目前任教于四川美院版画系并生活于重庆。在中央美院求学期间即在版画领域获得许多重要奖项。 2003-2004 年转以压克力颜料创作为主,以类似版画的构图结构组成画面。作为中国当代「70 后」画家的代表,韦嘉早期创作将少年敏感又不羁的情怀,以叙事的语言铺陈开来。 2010 年后,韦嘉逐渐将视野拓及独特或普世的人性,以及人与社会群体间的状态。韦嘉的作品描绘了生命本质的面貌,动态的笔触介于具象及抽象之间,既定的轮廓消减,进一步的反应当代人在其所属的现实环境中,既永恒也变幻万千的种种生命状态。


Born in Chengdu, Sichuan in 1975. He graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1999. Now based in Chongqing, Wei teaches at the Department of Printmaking at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. During his studies at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Wei was awarded several significant honors in the field of printmaking. Between 2003 and 2004, the artist began working with acrylic paint, incorporating into his paintings compositions often found in printmaking pieces. As one of China’s ‘post-70s’ contemporary painters, Wei instilled narratives of youthful and unruly sensitivities in his early works. Since 2010, he began expanding his interest in human nature, focusing on themes of singularity and universality by investigating the relations between the individual and the collective. Wei’s work depicts the fundamental qualities of life. Preexisting contours disintegrate under his dynamic strokes that dance between the figurative and the abstract, reflecting the everchanging, everlasting, and kaleidoscopic forms of life experienced in contemporary realities.
