ABOUT THE ARTIST

Chinese artist, Gao Hang works across various mediums and has a very artistic approach to capturing your’ attention and sparking a succession of thoughts.

Utilizing the Neo-pop movement from the 1980s and 1990s Hang applies subject matter and color as a concept and a foundation. His latest work, 21st Century Realism, is unequivocally a real critique of modern human behavior with ironic running commentary concerning our need for instant gratification and how we use images to do so. Hang’s theory examines the need to post ourselves online as an instinct of survival to prove we exist depicted in fabulous neo-pop compositions with a blurred fluorescent aesthetic without missing any attention to detail.

Gao’s work is a masterpiece of contemporary modern art fused with artistic humor that will sustain execution. Yet ultimately brings to light the underlying concept of online survival and instant gratification in a way where you can’t help but to find it ironic. That will keep you talking long after you have visited one of his exhibitions. In this interview, we learn more about Hang’s creative process, inspiration and more.
