Thinking

There was one artist at M50 that Debbie and I especially enjoyed, a charming local artist named 韦萍 (Wei Ping, but goes by “Sunny” in English) who does large scale portraiture (and some landscapes) using the words “stop thinking” handwritten over and over and over again.   Other words — almost hidden — are thrown in seemingly at random and are often the title of the piece.  This one was named “I am a good girl.”I also loved a piece she did of the Pudong skyline using the Chinese characters for “Shanghai” (上海) which made it look almost like handwritten ASCII art (although, technically, I suppose it would be Unicode art.)

She gave me a “白巨人 discount” (bái jùrén meaning “white giant”!)  More of Sunny’s work can be found at her website:  sunart108.com
