Xiong Wei

Xiong Wei is a contemporary artist/sculptor based in Brooklyn. He is interested in the emotional bond and rational relationships among people, between human body and object body, the role of humanity playing as one of the species in our nature. Xiong’s work is concerned with confrontational themes such as violence, mental burden, and the relationship of individualism to collectivism. His sculpture emphasizes the bodily scale, the spectator’s body’s relation with the body of artwork, and the space they coexist.
