Biography

Shi Zhiwei (b.1998) has intellectual disabilities. He used to be withdrawn, and imitate wolf howling every morning. Zhiwei stopped imitating wolf howling after he came to the studio, and become much more gentle and open. Because Zhiwei has fully invested in every single painting, he thinks those doodles that people do not understand are the meaning of his life. As long as the viewer is willing to change the conventional perspective, the spiritual content won't be inferior to other art works.
