Wei Xins works investigate whether the traditional medium of painting can survivein the digital age. He has used printmaking transfer techniques to make paintings and became well know in the 2009s for his manipulations of the conventions of painting. More recently， he has relied upon digital and industrial techniques to infuse his paintingprocess with spatial and temporal concerns. The results are environmental paintings， animations， and “Paintants” that combine digitally manipulated imagery， sculptural form， and three dimensionally painted surfaces.

Wei Xins works are extensively exhibited， some worth to mentioning； the Zhuhai GuyuanArts Museum， the Guanlan Arts Museum， the Shanghai Arts Museum， the Macao ArtsMuseum， the Zhejiang Arts Museum and the National Art Museum of China. Internationally he has represented his country in Italy， Germany， Slovenia and other Europeancountries. He is a member of the China Artists Association as well as the Chinese Folklore Photographers Association.

In 2009， Wei was honored with a documentary film The Arts and Life of Wei Xin， produced by Guangdong Satellite Television， and recognized with the Excellency Award at the 2009 China International Documentaries Awards. The documentary was broadcasted in Australia and the USA.

長期以來，在所有的繪畫領(lǐng)域，藝術(shù)家總是試圖努力提高繪畫語言的表現(xiàn)，這正是魏新所做的卓越探索。在他近幾年探索景德鎮(zhèn)千年釉色的作品中感受到色彩和形式之間的張力，是一種對視覺破壞的終極“宣戰(zhàn)”，是對傳統(tǒng)油畫媒介——亞麻布的恐怖襲擊。從它所產(chǎn)生的遺跡中人類可體悟到所謂羅曼蒂克的繪畫媒介被慘無人道地蹂躪之后產(chǎn)生的壯觀景象，和又如電荷般的細(xì)微差別，以及直接的能量總是讓人心懷激蕩。雖然顏料是一個(gè)主要媒介，藝術(shù)家是色調(diào)和色調(diào)應(yīng)用的特別敏感者，當(dāng)我們看到藝術(shù)家的作品光譜顏色滲透視覺時(shí)，它所散發(fā)的活力和存在是對觀者心靈愉悅的無限滿足。

在魏新的每一個(gè)充滿活力的“筆觸”中帶出殘像，這似乎慢慢使其表面的圖案以平面的方式來表現(xiàn)。它是動(dòng)態(tài)的張力和釋放，人們嘗試“讀”，因?yàn)槲覀兊没〞r(shí)間。這里的已知和未知并存，有形和無形的，看不見的辨識。這是藝術(shù)家挑釁的世界，它源于一種罕見的洞察力。

魏新，湖北省荊州人。中國美術(shù)家協(xié)會會員、國家一級美術(shù)師、中國民俗攝影家協(xié)會會士。父親為著名漆畫家、油畫家，自幼受其影響，酷愛繪畫。

1986年，畢業(yè)于湖北工藝美術(shù)學(xué)校，之后師從李青萍先生學(xué)習(xí)潑彩畫數(shù)年。

1997年，畢業(yè)于華南師范大學(xué)油畫碩士研究班，受教于尚揚(yáng)先生工作室專習(xí)油畫。

2008年巨幅油畫《九歌》被入選并獲獎(jiǎng)由文化部藝術(shù)司、中國油畫學(xué)會聯(lián)合舉辦的《拓展與融合——中國現(xiàn)代油畫研究展》。
