GAN YU |

I was born into a family of artists in Shanghai, China, and at the age of six, I started to practice Chinese calligraphy. I was fascinated by its aesthetic structures and the rhythmical beauty of its strokes. This was the first and most direct influence on my artistic career. Living through various decades in different countries, I have been motivated by my experiences in a changing world. Thus my art, while founded on my own individuality and technical experiments, is also continuously informed by my surroundings. In recent years, a major focus of my work has been the different physical and cultural environments people live in as well as the chaotic social phenomena of our time. I have attempted to combine elements from the East and the West in my work to find a fresh artistic perspective and to create a channel for meaningful exchange. I plan to continue my artistic journey by exploring various styles, surfaces, and mediums to keep vital movement and energy alive in my artwork. Professional Experience Media and Publications
