Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town's new exhibition—"Power Plant"

Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town's new exhibition—"Power Plant". In this exhibition, Xie Wendie will also set up a unique visual experience according to the spatial structure of ArtBay, allowing the works and space to have a new conversation. In Xie Wendie's works, the intuitive capture of shapes and the subconscious depiction of images go hand in hand, attempting to trace the changes in thoughts. Through her own feelings and local experiences, she poetically and interestingly presents the subtle connections between things. Xie Wendie's creation is a circuitous experience, from initially receiving 'glass modeling' training, through the tortuous path of craftsmanship, to gradually establishing a connection with herself and the outside world with the joint action of materials and craftsmanship. Her preference for 'glass' material actually stems from the connection with 'glass' she feels. Xie Wendie is fascinated by the dialectical contradictions of glass (whether it's the visual perception, the making, or the metaphorical aspects of the phenomenon)—just as she is fascinated by puns, the tangible and intangible, opposites and similarities, dreams and reality, etc.—and uses it as an entry point to juxtapose and relate to other materials, becoming mirrors to each other. This has become her way of expressing and understanding the world. Xie Wendie's works contain various 'forces': the force between object shapes, the force between shapes and space, the force between materials and time, the force between the body and materials during the creative process, and so on. Due to materials and craftsmanship, Xie Wendie often wanders between various factories to complete her works. The 'factory' is not only the base of labor but also the place for the artist to observe and communicate. The subtle relationship between the artist and the craftsmen mutually influences the creation of the works and produces different degrees of resonance.
