Untitle

His material comes from the flowers and birds in his hometown. The composition of painting is a concrete embodiment of years of experience. For example, the basket series of paintings. All of which are mainly composed of baskets, are composed in the middle. However, the most annoying part of the composition of Chinese painting is that the main body is placed in the middle. which is precisely because the basket series is placed in the middle, which makes it very comfortable to look at. It breaks the limitation of the traditional painting composition from Song dynasty to modern times, which also forms its personal characteristics.

From her works shines through the modernity and power of the early twentieth century artists such as Klimt, especially for the use of colors, Modigliani, as regards the idea of dreams and reality that floats in an unreal time, and Schiele in reference to the yield of the bodies and the positions they assume.

Although her works are very twentieth-century they maintain a very powerful bond with the ancient Chinese art that makes the works are fascinating, overwhelming but at the same time extremely delicate and poetic.

Siesta

In her works the female subject is undoubtedly predominant.

Contemporary | Dai Guangyu: Transfer in Ink

Dai Guangyu is a self-taught artist born and raised in 1955 in a family of scholars in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China.


Since childhood Dai Guangyu has studied calligraphy, painting and literature and his career as a contemporary artist includes his long experience as a visual and performative artist, curator and cultural critic, and poet.

Dai GuanYu

His work involves the history of Chinese art, the culture of ink painting, as well as Chinese poetry and politics.


In 1985, Dai Guangyu became part of the revolutionary movement New Wave, soon becoming the leader of what develops in Southwest China, after becoming a leader of the Sichuan artistic avant-garde scene, which proves to be very stimulating and perfect for the development of its creative purpose.

Dai Guangyu – White is not necessarily good

During this period he took part in several exhibitions including, in 1986, “Red Yellow Blue – Young Artists of Sichuan”, the first modern art exhibition in the Sichuan province, at the Sichuan Art Gallery.


In 1989 he participated in the historic China Avant-Garde exhibition at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing and after the end of the 1989 student movement protests, when Chinese art entered a depressed and withdrawn state, Dai Guangyu continued his active interventionist work, curating exhibitions and public performance interventions far from the capital.

Dai Guangyu – Untitled

In the 1990s, Dai Guangyu discovered artistic performance, which employs the body as a key artistic medium.
The artist has found this artistic medium very interesting and very suitable for expressing himself, artistically speaking, as it allows him to be powerful in movement, incisive in meaning, radical and transitory.

Dai Guangyu – Absorbing – being absorbed

With Dai Guangyu, performance and artistic activities such as conceptual art had found their mentor.
In 2003, the artist moved permanently to Beijing where, during these years, he developed a body of art and a strong conceptual approach in cultural references, rich in poetry and symbolism, and beautiful in form, which has aroused continuous criticism.

Dai Guangyu – To identify a chicken artistic image of a dead rabbit is difficult

Dai Guangyu, he has created a system of codes and symbols that has intensified along with the progress of his installations and performances. For example, it uses black Chinese ink pots or porcelain, symbols of the complexity of Chinese culture, flour to evoke the basic food of the community and finally also men with faces painted in white and gold as metaphors of Westernization or the pursuit of wealth.

Dai Guangyu – Auction

He argues that through the act of performance, a temporary action that passes from one state to another, all solid forms belong to a single moment and that all circumstances are in the process of transformation.
His installations and his photographs maintain a trace of this “state of procreation” which is the essence of the performance and gives a poetic intonation to the forms.

Dai Guangyu – Shooting at myself

In 2017 the artist realizes the performance The Failure of Defense-America, 2017.

During the performance he expresses his personal struggles against having to live under a repressive political regime. Dai Guangyu through the performance of the performance wants to move the focus, which originally is based on the ideological and class division in China, to the forces that threaten the American nation.

Dai Guangyu – “The Failure of Defense America 2017”

By painting the seemingly empty white paper that covered the stage with black and red ink, the outlines of a series of critical and consequential relationships emerged, asking questions about where we are all in relation to the character and inclusiveness of today’s nation.

Dai Guangyu – “The Failure of Defense America 2017”

Dai Guangyu is now recognized as an important and original figure in the Chinese art scene. His interdisciplinary practice is written within a socially engaged trajectory.

Through his performances, photographs, paintings or calligraphy, he stages his body and the symbolism of Chinese society until the end of their resistance or their disappearance.
