And so when you have lost everything, no more roads, no direction, no fixed signs, no ground, no thoughts able to resist other thoughts, when you are lost, beside yourself, and you continue getting lost, when you become the panicky movement of getting lost, then, that’s when, where you are unwoven weft, flesh that lets strangeness come through, defenseless being, without resistance, without batten, without skin, inundated with otherness, it’s in these breathless times that writings traverse you, songs of an unheard-of purity flow through you, addressed to no one, they well up, surge forth, from the throats of your unknown inhabitants, these are the cries that death and life hurl in their combat.

Hélène Cixous, "Coming to Writing" and Other Essays

“Lips that Shakespeare taught to speak have whispered their secret in my ear. I have had the arms of Rosalind around me, and kissed Juliet on the mouth.”

Selected works by Tang Wei Min (唐伟民).

Tang Wei Min was born in Yong Zhou, Hunan Province in 1971. He graduated from the Art Department of Hunan Standard College, where he majored in Oil Painting in 1991. Since then he has worked as a professional oil painter.

Tang is inspired by remains - what lives, leaves, and is left behind thereafter. Many of Tang’s works depict beautiful, young women, yet their beauty is unfailingly ornamented - weighed down with the symbols of culture and tradition. The motif of cultural decoration appears to be rooted in Tang’s visit to the Mawangdui Museum in Changsha, China. There, he saw the tomb of a West Han Dynasty princess, and in it, a beautiful mummy, surrounded by finery and the trappings of wealth. According to Tang, her image sparked a revelation that “everything disappears with… death”, and “only the treasury… left is silently telling… [a] story”. Tang’s artistic portfolio is perhaps his own way of establishing the weight of existence - securing a legacy that will outlive him beyond the grave.
