Wei Ligang — Neigh
Wei Ligang

Neigh

2010

A dynamic composition by Wei Ligang, *Neigh* combines ink and acrylic on Xuan paper to evoke the raw energy and movement of a horse through bold, expressive brushwork. The artist's fluid gestural marks blur the boundary between abstraction and representation, channeling the spirit of traditional Chinese calligraphy into a distinctly contemporary visual language. Mounted on paper, the work retains the delicate luminosity of Xuan paper while amplifying the tension between spontaneous mark-making and controlled form.
