ARTISTS

Guan Xiao was born in Chongqing, China in 1983, she lives and works in Beijing, China. Guan Xiao takes a playful approach to making sculptures, videos, and installations. She re-arranged them and re-composed them.

When these images or objects are de-identified, their original meanings are dissolved and the viewer's habitual perception is also passively adapted. In the art world of Guan Xiao, they all present the beauty and the vitality of the illusion that cannot be defined.
 

The inspiration for this cycling jersey comes from hyperspectral images. Its popular functionis to detect the earth’s surface, landscapes and natural resources. After the artist randomly downloaded and re-graded such an image from the Internet, its original surface meaning of course could not be traced. No matter how complex and high-tech methods are used to obtain this kind of image, what we see from the cycling jersey is ultimately a set of flat, repetitive, vibrant color blocks.
 

Su Yuxin was born in Taiwan in 1991, she lives and works in LA, USA. Yuxin tends to depict those familiar sceneries with deeper or hidden historical perspectives and mix local pigments, such as grinded stones, sands, etc into her paints.

Wine-dark Sea(Gukut Cliff), depicts the former site of a highway near the sea in Hualien, a city in eastern Taiwan. Located on a cliff extruded by the Philippine Plate, the Suhua Highway not only reflects the traces of the artist's personal experience in a changing world, but also witnesses and connects almost the entire east coast of Taiwan with modernization, power changes and labor migration.

The artist used natural pigments such as minerals and soils she collected in different cities to paint the mountains and rocks in the picture. The only artificial pigment used in the painting is the wine-red sea and sky, mixed with aniline purple and some artificial cobalt purple. Perhaps the production of color is like poetics, when the facts of the thing itself are not enough to describe the symptoms of the thing, the real scenery joins the fictional rhetoric. 

Wan Yang was born in Hunan, China in 1983. He lives and works in Shanghai, China. Wan Yang’s creations are particularly focused on the colors in oil paintings. He is a color mathematician, accurately calculating the harmony of colors, gradients and compositions.

The inspiration for this cycling jersey comes from Coral, a beautiful painting which achieves subtle oil color changes that are difficult to distinguish with naked eyes.

Therefore, whether itis the previous "Sky" series, "Metal" series, or the recent "Color" series, all his art works, those soft mist-like dreamy paintings which sometimes falsely lead to spray paintings are actually all
slowly painted by his hand.

He calculated and blended those oil colors by himself and painted on his canvas bit by bit. He recently used a 3D printer to invent a grid mold that can assist him in making gradient color bars. Through this, he experiences not only the joy of "the imaginary color matches the color results on the painting, but also accept "unexpected surprises after
the digital supervision of colors.”
