Work developed during the three weeks artistic residency at Sunhoo Industrial Design and Innovation Park in Hangzhou, China. The aim of the residence program was to create a space for artists and designers to go cross cultural borders, acquire knowledge about materials and designs in the region and exchange their unique perspectives, bringing diversity, knowledge and experience to the project and the region.
I took the opportunity to develop some quickly executed paintings (given the time), inspired not only by the strange landscape, neo-urban and under construction, as well as by larger symbols of Chinese culture, such as a painting of a plaster bust of Mao Zedong, or a painting of the classic red paper lamps.
In this project there was also a presentation at the Chinese Art Academy and the publication of a magazine.
