Guo Wei biggest trait is the performance of his materials and using children as the theme of his artwork. The core strength of Guo Wei’s artwork is “performance” and it’s also where he has put effort in. “Inside with the mosquitoes and Moths” portraits some young girls wearing high heels of adults, walking and moving like grown -ups but still unable to hide their youth. Guo Wei concerns about people around him and himself which shows the desire and emptiness amongst modern people. After 2003, he has trespassed himself in painting and insisted on figurative painting skills. It is a reflex from traditional realist style. The bold compositions of his figures have been simplified and handled with exaggeration; the colors were singular and plain. He aimed at precisely blending the form and flow of his painting.
