Guo Gong 郭工
“ Artwork itself is a language, a pre-linguistic language that can communicate with people. Sometimes, its accuracy and conciseness far exceed our everyday language and written expressions. ”
— Guo Gong
Guo Gong: Born in 1966, renowned Chinese contemporary artist, based in Beijing
The artist excels particularly in analysing the physical properties of materials from a unique perspective during the creative process. He then craft these materials into entities with paradoxical landscapes based on artistic logic. In the conflicts expressed by the material itself, the artist succinctly conveys their own speculative power.
