ZHAO BO (CHINA, B. 1984)

Zhao Bo, born in 1984 in Shenyang, Liaoning, received a Master's degree from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. In the work, Untitled (Lot 144), Zhao has proficiently showed his artistic skills and capabilities in logical description. Zhao Bo has applied fast moving lines and intricate colours to portray a confined place. A splash of light is intensely illuminating onto the center, where suddenly a flock of personified flamingos appear in the horizon. Disorganized lines, sharp contrasted colours, irrational logics, all that seem to be contradicted are in fact potentially rational. With such a way of illustrating, viewers are spontaneously brought into the scene Zhao has deliberately planned.
