ABOUT The Artist
Liao Wenfeng
Liao Wenfeng / 廖文峰 (*1984) was born in Jiangxi Province (China) in 1984. He graduated in China Academy of Art in 2006. In 2016 he received his master's degree from Berlin University of the Arts. He currently lives in Berlin. Liao Wenfeng works on sketch, painting, video and GIF animation. He often uses everyday objects for his artistic praxis, bringing a certain atmosphere of uncertainty into everyday situations. He excels in using eggs, pencils, teeth and other small objects to create humorous situations, taking optical illusion, euphemism, art historical allusion, political symbolism and admixing these with a variety of other symbols. His recent exhibitions include: Forming Communities: Berliner Wege, KINDL – Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Berlin, Germany (2022); Ein kleine stück Unsichtbarkeit , alte feuerwache / projektraum – Galerie, Berlin, Germany (2021). Videocity.bs: Food, Congress Center Basel, Basel，Switzerland（2020)；Transcending Dimension: Sculpting Space- Shenzhen Pingshan International Sculpture Exhibition, Shenzhen, China (2019).
