Red T.art has been representing Wang Wei for nearly a year and in this time we have exhibited her in Beijing, Hong Kong, and now… the London Art Fair. Wang Wei is a talented, young, Chinese photographer who uses her own creative intuition to come up with unique, heartfelt, insightful and relevant work reflecting a contemporary China otherwise overlooked.
We submitted 4 of her Standard Room images to the 2008 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in London and were delighted that she was selected as one of the images to be shown in the final touring exhibition.
The 2009 London Art Fair opens on 14th January and Red T.art was selected to exhibit the ‘Standard Room’ Series by Wang Wei in the Projects section, by far the most interesting part of any art fair! This will further launch Wang Wei in the UK which is just another stepping stone in her promising career. She has already been recognised by various media.
For anyone interested in promising artists of the future, watch this space, and you are very welcome to visit us at P22 at the London Art Fair.
Opening on May 8th 2008 at 7pm, this exhibition shows works by Chen Yu, an artist Red T has been dealing for 3 years. In this time Chen Yu has risen significantly to become a known artist in China. Her works are carefully constructed using oil paint and Chinese lacquer. The effect is beautiful swathes of colour across canvas in what comes across as random patterns, reminiscent of flowers and the female form.

Simply because lots of people have been asking about my views on China, here is my conclusive rant - a warning: It is somewhat self-indulgent…

Our ‘De-Face’ ended up being a great success with around 400 people tuning up to leave their contributions on the walls. A photographic treat for the hoards of snap happy visitors, with some professionals and media weaving amongst the crowds. We have been left with some really great graffiti images and wall paintings in literally, every possible space of wall, glass, metal, mirror, even the toilet and air-conditioning units got it. Also some great slogans; ‘Red T is the Red Sun in our hearts’ and ‘I Love Red T’. At least we know we have been appreciated. Continue reading ‘Update 3: A Success and a New Address’
The ‘De-Face’ will begin this Saturday with graffiti artists coming in after lunch and any passers by encouraged to participate. The big party should happen next Saturday (March 8th). However, as this nightmare continues to develop, timing is more and more uncertain and it seems we are surrounded by crooks. There is so much deceit and story spinning going on around this that I am desperate just to leave, in Red T style , and not turn back. But… of course, it is not that simple. Continue reading ‘Update 1: De-Face party Sat, March 8th’
So we have the news. We will be demolished.
It is with great sorrow and disappointment I announce the news that our beloved 798 Red T Space as we know it, will be knocked down on March 2nd (or so they say) to make way for a car park complex. Continue reading ‘No, 798 is NOT safe from demolition’
