About my artwork

each branch of my work hits on 3 central concepts. History - both personal and universal. Time - How information is preserved. Layers - how quantum events change us, M theory in this respect, and how these layers create the patterns we know in any given moment.

Artists I like

culture and concept producers like Yves Klein (and the noveau realitsts). Those who fuse art and pop culture, like Takashi Murakami and Fisherspooner. And phenomenon creators like Olafur Eliasson and Jeremiah Barber.

Interests

abstract painting, live electronic music, artist as shaman, asian art history, Chinese scroll painting, japanese pop art, german expressionists.

The centre of the artworld is

Beijing, nowhere and everywhere
