Vi Shu is an autodidact artist who is based in Sweden. Her work represents the lyrical abstract art tradition. The style strives to create a feeling of freedom and harmony while the subject is open for interpretation. Through lyrical abstraction she creates her own reality that reflects an inner world of emotions and fragments of memories. 

 

Vi flirts with abstract from an unique perspective. Through her creation, she tries to highlight harmony that is expressed through both colors and shapes and hover between dream and reality, inner and outer world, the conscious and the unconscious. Her art is not specifically associated with any religion, but there is something overly spiritual and mystical in it. 

 

Vi Shu paints mainly in acrylic; she incorporates a variety of mediums like spray paint, paper, sand and concrete to build layered, complex, and expressive compositions. Under relaxed and soft brushstrokes an endless battle is hidden. Her color choices create a range of tones from the muted and serene to the vibrant and electric. 

 

Vi's work is characterized by free, emotive, personal compositions unrelated to objective reality, something unknown expressed through her work.  The purpose is that the viewer can find a connection with her creations on a psychological, philosophical or spiritual level and experience direct visual connection with their own inner world.
