Edit ProfileCareer
After graduation, Guo did not follow the traditional route of academic painting. He turned to discover a new creation mode which is based on his childhood memories. Usually,he takes inspiration from old photographs.
He is known primarily for his watercolor series.
In his recent works, he ventured into the field of collage and started to explore and to experiment with new dimensions in visual art within a given flat surface. “From the physical perspective, Guo’s practice neither bolsters nor weakens the informational capacity of the 2D print medium—he simply recodes lieutenant”
Guo Hongwei has exhibited at a number of venues.
In 2013, Guo appeared at UCCA in the group exhibition Ontario | OFF:China’s Young Artists in Concept and Practice.
