Hejum Bä
Hejum Bä
Hejum Bä’s understanding of contemporary communication – from both verbal and non-verbal language to the complex codes we navigate in everyday interactions – deeply influences her artistic practice. Her abstract, colorful works offer a layered depiction of the actions we perform when engaging with our phones, such as “swiping” and “tapping,” moving beyond pure emotion or intuition. In her paintings, Hejum Bä examines the complex relationships between visual elements, particularly the interaction of surface and background, color and line.
Xue Ruozhe
Xue Ruozhe
Using painting as his main artistic approach, Xue’s works explore the re-contextualization and re- enchantment of figurative painting in contemporary media ecology, in the rift between painting and imagery, painting and its own history. Underneath the restrained pictorial narrative are Xue’s hints about what has yet to be presented or is about to happen. Working with a highly restricted methodology, Xue pushes the psychological density of their paintings to the limit, the reality is then distorted by constant subtraction until the paintings reach a state of suspension and stagnation.
