July 18, 2024
Gao's works subtly blend varying degrees of simulation and dynamism, confusion and subversion, guiding the viewer's eyes to wander between multiple dimensions. In the process of exploring the role of the artist, he constantly challenges our preconceived notions of the creator's identity, while also questioning traditional notions of meaning-making in artworks. Through his unique artistic language, Gao invites us to re-examine the memories and expectations projected by the viewer on the artwork, as well as the intricate interaction between the artwork, the viewer and the environment. His creations are not only a presentation of visual experience, but also an in-depth exploration of the nature of consciousness and the boundaries of perception. In this artistic experiment full of uncertainty, the viewer seems to be in a silent dialogue. Gao's works are like subtle mirrors that reflect the unspeakable fluctuations in our hearts.
