Artist Z.Z. Wei to be honored at the Governors Mansion

Governor Christine Gregoire, First Gentleman Mike Gregoire and the Governor’s Mansion Foundation Art Curators present a solo exhibition by the artist Z.Z. Wei. The exhibition showcases the artist’s recent paintings at The Executive Mansion in Olympia Washington. The exhibition opens on Thursday, May 19, 2011 with a private reception and lecture by the artist and will be available for public viewing at the mansion through May of 2012. Mansion tours are available to the public with reservations.

 
Each year this special honor is bestowed upon a Washington State artist whose art work exemplifies the spirit of the great state of Washington.  Having dedicated over 20 years to painting the Northwest, Z.Z. Wei is honored to participate as this year’s guest artist with 10 specially curated paintings.  The visual story-telling is unique among landscape painters, as the artists depicts the beauty of the Northwest by rendering a meandering road, an undulating field, or a dramatic use of light casting shadows upon a Washington cityscape.   Sculptural forms envelope his compositions and intrigue the viewer to look beyond their natural boundaries.

Z.Z. Wei has received well deserved recognition throughout the United States with his evocative art and is iconic in his depiction of Washington state landscape and genre painting.

Mansion Tours: Wednesdays, 1:00-3:00 PM
