JIA WEI (KK)
Linda Gallery unveils a dynamic new solo exhibition dubbed “Ruhua Wilding” by Chinese artist and creative innovator Jia Wei. The artworks within the Ruhua series peer into the perspectives of Jia Wei and are a visual embodiment of his critique of the world around him. The animated characters reflect the childlike essence of the artist and mirror his own “inner child” that he carried within him from youth to adulthood.

The exhibition showcases an imaginative and surrealist realm that allows visitors to go on a metaphorical journey of escapism and theatricality at a time of society’s relentless pursuit of virtual stimulation. The Ruhua series is, therefore, intended to encapsulate Jia Wei’s own creative essence on his path of self-healing, breakthroughs, and rebirth during the lowest point of his life.
