Lives and works in Shenyang
“For a long time, I have used paintings, videos, installations and other media to focus on the many problems and conflicts between individuals and collectives in reality, to expand political commentary and media imagination, and often use “sketching” as a consciously updated experimental path. Exhibition presentations are mostly in the form of projects to promote the progress or evolution of the current stage of work.”
