Mocube is honored to hold the solo exhibition “The Letter For You” of the artist Wu Fei on August 26, 2023, which will present his latest paintings and thoughts. The core of Wu’s creation is rooted in the exploration of the relationship between the writing styles of calligraphy and abstract paintings. Meanwhile, it hints at the invisible world guided by the visible.

In search of a full of spirituality and self-cultivation, the deconstruction of the logic, visual perception, interpretation, and other functions of “writing” by the artist gradually enters “letters” from “writing”. Integrate writing and painting into traces from the inside out to revisit the true appeal at the beginning of creation. Utilizing the unique writing style as a method, the artist expresses the depiction of brilliant, dull letters (painting), then covers it with pigments, and polishes it with tools. Make the covered text appear on the canvas in a new form, measure and read with the physical body, and reach the abstract result from concrete practices. By exhibiting letters to relatives and friends in different periods, the artist, at that moment, becomes a composite character — he is the writer, sender, and reader of the letter. It is a signal to the invisible world, so he is a postman. He is also a coder who creates and reconstructs information. He is also a psychic who connects multiple worlds.

Wu’s exhibition “The Letter For You” comes from the letter text covered in his artworks. Here, the letter is not only a tool for communicating emotions, but also about the mysterious relationship between people and the invisible world. The motion extraction and inverse writing for pen down and pen up serve as prerequisites. Following that is the repeated use of acrylic, ink, cutting, and polishing. This reminds the artist of the continuous decoding process between writing and materials. The polished irregular patterns and the covered graphics complement each other, naturally generating a mirror space with a sense of time. Through the superimposition of patterns, color blocks, and pigments, the paintings form a cosmic code that is connected. This is the rebellion against abstract painting from the artist — layers of covering and layers of stripping. These kinds of stripping and covering here are not to reveal the correct words, nor to let the two become subjects of each other, but to reveal the warm memories among people, among the daily records of artists. At the same time, it is also the spiritual light emanating from the isomorphism of actions about people, time, and the invisible world.
