Description
As a Chinese artist of the new generation, Nan Chao likes to explore the adaptability of materials and is constantly engaged in the search for new creative techniques. According to him, “Artistic creation has two perspectives: first, innovation in language; second, outstepping of concepts that will be found agreeable in the future.” Although Nan Chao is committed to innovation, he remains deeply concerned about the succession of Chinese culture as he has practised ink and wash painting for years. His approach is to provide new interpretation of Chinese culture through merging the past and present, which is composed of three aspects: the shifts of materials, handling of space and reconstruction of early works.
