Wei Ligang 魏立刚

b. 1964

Born in 1964 in Datong City in Shanxi Province, Wei Ligang graduated from the Mathematics Department at Nankai University in 1981. He has been at the forefront of modern ink painting's development from the beginning and was one of the organizers of Bashu Parade: '99 Chengdu Retrospective of Chinese Modern Calligraphy at the End of the 20th Century exhibition in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in June 1999. This event is widely regarded as a most important review of China's Modern Calligraphy Artistic Movement since the mid-1980s. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in China as well as in an exhibition of Chinese calligraphy that was held in 2002 at the British Museum in London. He was awarded a fellowship by the Asian Cultural Council Hong Kong, an affiliate of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which brought him to New York on a research trip in 2005.
