The Art of Wei Yan
His work is so beautiful, the organic "creations" seem to morph between something you might see growing in the woods on log or tree, or something more curious like bacteria. I thought it was watercolour at first, but its actually oil on canvas. He is from China, and is part of the Art+Shanghai gallery. His other works, which are similar, sometimes include cute little "monsters" resting upon the strange "landscapes" he creates.

Emily, the artwork is incredible and so delicate. It really looks organic.
wow, that little monster is cute.
yeah now that i think about it,Wei Yan's work reminds me of Zhang Zhihe's work too. not in style but in content. The use of cute monsters, placed into a surreal, organic landscape.
