Gao Xiaowu

POST-STANDARD TIMES THE ART OF GAO XIAOWU

Gao XiaoWu born in Sanming in south China’s Fujian province.

Gao majored In sculpture in Art Academy in Xiamen before furthering his studies at Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.

Gao’s works are not only based on the lives of ordinary people living in the city, they also serve as an exploration of his own identity. Although he was born in the 1970’s, his artistic creation resembles those who were born a decade later. He does not try to express ambitious aspirations that concern the country nor complains about the current situation. Instead, he is more concerned about the happiness and grief in his everyday life.

He is posturing for his own aesthetic view. Gao’s aesthetics fall into the generation of comics and cartoons. He is one of the representative sculptors in these new trends. His creation avoids political symbols and totem. Gao, like other 1980s artists, spontaneously returned to the nature of artistic creation, pursuing their own aesthetic display of expressing the interest achieved by content and medium.
