Amongst the vast outstanding group of contemporary Chinese artists, Zhu Wei is one of the very few who chooses to use traditional ink painting technique to depict the social sceneries in modern days’ China. His paintings make up for an area that has often been overlooked in contemporary Chinese art, art that have local painting elements. His effort in research improves the chances of contemporary art to be relevant in China and makes it a substantial phenomenon. It allows the world to see paintings with authentic Eastern origins, to read its contemporary values, thoughts and above all, its power. 在众多中国当代艺术家中，朱伟是极少的几位以传统水墨画诠释当代中国社会现状的艺术家之一。他的绘画弥补了中国当代艺术缺少本土绘画参与这一必要环节，他的努力研究增加了当代艺术在本土落地的可能性以及延续性，也让世界看到了真正来源于东方绘画的当代趣味和观念以及它的功力。
