Shen Wei (Shanghai, 1977) is a New York based Chinese artist known for his intimate portraits of others and himself, as well as his poetic photographs of landscape and still-life. His artistic style has often been described as dream-like, elusive and erotic.
Hailed as "one of the most prominent Chinese photo artists of his generation" by CNN, Shen Wei's work has been exhibited and published worldwide, with works included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the J. Paul Getty Museum, and Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.
“When creating a self-portrait, I often transform into a different persona. I’m usually naked, so it is not about putting on a costume. Somehow, I find myself responding to the environment I’m in, sensing the past and future of that place as I perceive it.” Shen Wei
