PREFACE
The bird flies through the sky, without a trace; it rejoices, simply in its flying. By Tagore
Often alone, imagining something at the extremity of my thought, I have conjured a strange world of illusion in my mind, which belongs to me. I have traveled to and from my imagined world each day, without even noticing.? By Wei Erqiao Wei Erqiao was born in Harbin in 1964, and he graduated from Jiamusi Medical University. He worked in the hospital of Harbin Industrial University for 20 years after graduation. He has lived his adult life as a professional doctor. In the years of routine, he came to love scribbling freely on scraps of prescription paper during his night shift. He fell in love with drawing at a very young age, and he doodled on many scraps of paper whenever he had a chance. His brother, an oil painter, eventually noticed his scribblings and advised him to pursue painting. Afterwards, these occasional scribblings impressed more of his friends of painter, and he gained courage. Then he tried new media, including water pen, marker, and finally brushes. In the process he created over ten thousand works, and became a popular painter.
The pattern of his works forms clear motifs-- life, death and love. They are graceful and profound, possessing a noble simplicity and peaceful greatness, which needs the whole soul to experience and feel.
I was totally amazed to see Erqiao work for the first time, and till now I clearly remember it. How could it come from a man work?.?- Liu Yan
It is really painted well, good work, simple and complicated line all standing still...? - Ding Cong
As a doctor, his painting is more professional, relaxing and free than that of a professional painter. It seems as if the talent is much needed except for hard working, reading, relaxing and travelling thousand miles away.? -- Hua Jun Wu
About Erqiao work, I will not elaborate it any more, as they are all here, for you to view. Please enjoy!
The painting is conveying an eternity, which is interwoven by sense and thoughts;
The painting is expressing a peace, which is structured by time and space;
The painting is delivering a solitude, which is built by hardship and sorrow;
The painting is calling for a friendship, which is created by body and soul.
