Wen Wu is primarily painter, her art-work is about beauty in memory. She is fascinated by the challenge of using photographic imagery in novel ways. She utilizes historical movie stars that have become embedded in our culture as icons of another age. With these images she aims to induce a kind of interaction that facilitates an internal debate about the perceivers notions of beauty. The paintings originating from this mode of practice, working as individual pieces and when juxtaposed, set up a coherent context for an investigation.
