Following the first solo exhibition "Chasing the Wind and Shadows" of Hua Xiyu's work in 2019, Wei Gallery is honored to present the solo exhibition "Midsummer Trance" in collaboration with artist Hua Xiyu on 7th June 2023, featuring a series of oil paintings from 2019 to 2023. Specializing in capturing fleeting light and shadows, Hua's paintings exude a quiet and solid visual impression, making her a contemporary artist with a distinctive style based on her pure colors and unique compositions.

Unlike her previous works with a focus on the static state, she has injected a stronger sense of life into this series "Midsummer Trance". The movement of humans and animals is largely depicted in this series, as well as a large number of curved lines to make the static images flow, enhancing the sense of movement and presenting the rhythm of life in nature. 

In this series, her works emphasize the importance of perception, such as the ears that appear in the conch listening to the stories that the ocean brings from afar. The artist hopes that the viewer can feel the emotion of the painting not only visually, but also through a profound experience that awakens the other senses, like a moment of encountering a sound, a smell, a taste, or a touch on the body that transports one to a special moment in the past.
