Wu Weijia (1960-) is a native of Nantong, Jiangsu. 1982 graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Nanjing University of the Arts, majoring in oil painting. He studied under Mr. Su Tianci and devoted himself to inheriting and developing Mr. Lin Fengmian's artistic concept of combining Chinese and Western. His artistic creation spans many fields, such as oil painting, Chinese painting and calligraphy, and his works show Wu Weijia's superb artistic talent and artistic attainments. In his recent artistic practice, Wu Weijia intends to combine the expressive features of China's painting and calligraphy with those of oil painting, break the boundaries between different art forms, and look for similarities between eastern and western paintings. He advocates adding linear expression to the picture space, approaching the oriental viewing experience with one-dimensional and two-dimensional reading, and emphasizing writing in the performance of his works, thus creating his own unique artistic ontology.
Wu Weijia visited the United States as a member of the China painting and oil painting delegation organized by the Ministry of Culture, and participated in the 7th National Art Exhibition, the 1st China Oil Painting Annual Exhibition, the China Art Expo and the 3rd China Oil Painting Annual Exhibition. "Lush Life" won the Excellent Works Award of China Art Fair, and "Warrior" won the Excellent Works Award of the Third China Oil Painting Annual Exhibition. His works are collected by Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum, Nanyi Art Museum and National Grand Theatre. He has organized the creation and personally drawn a large mural of Tianning Tower in Changzhou, with the Buddhist theme "The Right Path Map". His works have been published in professional journals such as The Artist, China Oil Painting, Jiangsu Pictorial and Overseas Chinese News.
Wu Weijia was once the master of Wu Weijia and Shang Lu.
