Gong Xinru
Gong Xinru (Chinese, b. 1973) began his artistic journey with a focus on traffic elements. His creative trajectory spans various art forms, including painting, installation, comprehensive materials, photography, and video. By isolating certain forms of expression from universal ideologies, Gong aims to reconnect these elements with everyday life, restoring a sense of immediacy and unpredictability in his works. This approach transforms his art into a "live" theater that evokes a strong resonance with the real world. His work seeks to engage audiences by creating immersive and relatable experiences.
