    KUANG Zhu (b.1982) based in Huangzhou, China

    "What I care about is the shared will and emotions of "human beings" (as the spiritual carriers of general beliefs), which are deposited in the uncontrollable external changes and the flow of time and space.

    At this stage, the creations are mainly installations. In terms of materials, I prefer to use raw materials and ready-made products, which are more simple, stable and larger information units."

    朱旷 (b.1982)现工作生活于杭州

    "我所关心的是,〝人〞(作为泛信念的精神载体) 在不可控的外部变化与时空流转中,沉积而成的共同意志与情感。

    现阶段的创作以装置为主。在材料上偏好使用原材料与现成品,它们是更为简洁稳定、容量更大的信息单位。"

    Yiwen(b.1995)Born in Hangzhou, based in Huangzhou, China

    Yiwen born in Hangzhou in 1995, received bachelor's and master's degrees from China Academy of Art in 2017 and 2022.Currently lives and works in Hangzhou. My works revolve around natural environments and forms.Elements such as thorns and rings frequently appear in my works, derived from microscopic observations of nature. By using these phenomena from nature, I express a universality of the East, integrating and reconstructing the forms of plants, and exploring the relationships between various organisms, including humans and other living beings.

    一文 (b.1995),出生于杭州,现工作生活于杭州

    1995年出⽣于杭州,于2017年、2022年在中国美术学院取得学⼠与硕⼠学位。创作以综合材料为媒介。现⽣活、⼯作于杭州。
    我的作品围绕⾃然的环境及形态展开。尖刺、环状等作品中常出现的元素也源于对⾃然的微⼩观察。借⽤⾃然中的现象阐述⼀种普遍性的东西,以⾃⼰的视⾓将植物的形态整合和重构,在这种重构中探讨各种⽣物之间,也包括⼈与其他⽣物的关系。

    WEN Shuyu (b.1998), Born in Liangzhou, based in Shanghai, China

    Master of Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, Bachelor of Arts in Photography from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.

    Wen Shuyu’s practice explores how belief, perception, and intimacy take shape in an age of algorithmic drift, fractured attention, and unverifiable signals. She constructs pseudo-evidential environments—immersive spaces that mimic credibility while quietly suspending proof. Through poetic sabotage, misused fragments, and fictional logic, her work operates like cybernetic witchcraft: summoning collective faith from instability. Humor becomes a soft weapon, speculation a method, as her installations probe how ambiguity and affect generate provisional truths in a post- verification world.

    温舒喻 (b.1998) , 出生于辽宁, 现工作生活于上海

    英国伦敦艺术大学中央圣马丁学院美术硕士, 鲁迅美术学院摄影专业文学学士。

    温舒喻的创作聚焦于在算法漂移、注意力断裂与信号不可验证的时代中,信仰、感知与亲密如何生成。她构建伪证空间——一种逼近可信却始终悬置验证的沉浸式结构。通过诗性的干扰、错置的碎片与虚构的逻辑,她的实践如同一场赛博巫术:在不稳定中召唤集体信仰。幽默成为软武器,臆想成为方法,她的作品探讨模糊与情感如何在“后验证时代”中生成临时性的真理。

    THEODET Camille (b.1995), Born in the suburbs of Paris, France, based in Berlin

    Camille first pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts before continuing his studies at a private school specialising in special effects makeup. After
    experimenting with various artistic mediums, he found his primary means of expression in painting and drawing, focusing on fifigurative painting.
    His work explores narrative techniques and image composition, often by splitting the canvas in two, creating a dynamic interplay between forms and meaning. In 2017, Camille relocated to Berlin, where he currently lives and works. His artwork has been exhibited internationally, with shows in France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Greece, the UK, and the USA.

    "I create compositions that blend genres and ideas, constructing fragmented yet cohesive narratives. My work seeks to deconstruct emotions and actions by focusing on specifific moments, confronting disparate images and concepts to form visual allegories. Through this process, I aim to establish-analogies that maintain a deliberate ambiguity between subjects and genres. Each piece is an exploration of storytelling—depicting feelings,
    atmospheres, and actions by making images collide, yet allowing them to interact and resonate together. Animals play a central role in my work, serving as symbols of raw emotion, intensity, and passion. I draw upon their primal behaviour to explore human tendencies, seeking to capture an atmosphere of untamed sensuality. The animals in my work are unfifiltered, embodying authenticity and truth—there is no room for pretence or artififice.My art delves deeply into the unspoken desires and emotions that lie within us. I repurpose familiar images, altering their aesthetic to heighten contrasts and evoke a photographic quality. By doing so, I aim to forge connections between visuals and stir profound human emotions. I blur the lines between genres, crafting allegories that express ideas which cannot be captured by a single image alone. The compositions also carry a cinematic quality, where each frame feels like a moment frozen in time—imbued with the tension and motion of a larger unfolding narrative.
    Ultimately, my work reflflects a continuous exploration of personal existential questions and concerns. Each composition is an attempt to capture the essence of flfleeting moments—emotions, actions, and subtle nuances—imbued with a sense of impermanence and depth."

    卡米耶·泰奥代 (b.1995) , 出生于巴黎郊区, 现工作生活于柏林

    卡米耶最初攻读美术学士学位,随后进入一所专注于特效化妆的私立院校深造。在尝试多种艺术媒介后,他最终以绘画为主要表达方式,专注于具象绘画创作。其作品通过分割画布形成双联构图,探索叙事技巧与图像结构的动态关联,让形式与意义产生持续对话。2017年他移居柏林并建立工作室,作品已在法国、德国、丹麦、西班牙、葡萄牙、希腊、英国、美国等多国展出。

    "我的创作融合类型与理念,构建碎片化却自洽的叙事。通过聚焦特定瞬间,让迥异的图像与概念相互碰撞,形成视觉寓言。这种实践旨在建立主体与体裁间蓄意的模糊性——每件作品都是叙事的勘探,让对撞的图像在互动中共鸣,勾勒情感、氛围与行动的轨迹。动物在我的创作中扮演核心角色,它们是原始情感、强烈激情的图腾。我借其野性本能探讨人性倾向,试图捕捉那种未经驯化的感性氛围。这些动物形象毫无滤镜,承载着本真与坦率,这里没有虚伪与矫饰的容身之处。

    我的艺术深入探索潜藏于人类内心的无言欲望与情感。通过重构熟悉图像并改变其美学质感,我强化视觉对比以唤起摄影般的真实感,从而建立图像间的精神联结,激发深刻的人类情感。我模糊体裁边界,铸造那些无法被单一图像承载的意象寓言。作品亦蕴含电影质感,每个画面都如同凝结的时空片段,承载着更大叙事脉络中的张力与动势。"
