    在魏青吉近期作品中，他对中国当代艺术的一个常见题材进行了探索，那就是一个社会主义社会中商业文化令人惊讶的存在。这样的并列暗示着荒诞不经，但统合的和谐却支配着作品整体，他精心的构造的图象显示了可明显感知的张力与合乎逻辑的清晰决断。
 

    魏青吉的自我评述说明他对艺术界中有关国画演变的种种争论并不关心，他的个人风格也确实证明了这种态度。无论主观意愿如何，他都有效地显示了艺术媒介的灵活性，以及中国传统视觉艺术形式在现代社会的持续相关性。魏青吉的个人视野将其后现代的艺术风格与传统国画领域的精神特质紧密相连，那就是视觉与想象空间的永无边际的自由拓展。

    In Wei’s most recent work, he visits a common theme in Chinese contemporary art: in the curious existence of a commercial culture in a socialism society. The juxtaposition implies absurdity, yet a unifying harmony dominates. His careful construction suggests palpable tension with a logical resolution.
 

    Wei’s commentary on his process suggests unconcern with larger debates in the artistic community about the evolution of guo hua, and his personal style certainly seems to be proof of this attitude. Regardless of his intentions, he has effectively demonstrated the flexibility of the medium and the continuing relevance of this traditional form of Chinese visual expression. His personal vision links his post-modern idiom to the ethos of the traditional guo hua landscape: the never ending unraveling of visual and imaginative possibilities.
