Hong Hao

Art Brokerage: Hong Hao Chinese Artist: b. 1965. Hong Hao was born 1965 in Beijing, China. He graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing in 1989. Much of Hong Hao's work features assembled scanned images of various found objects including maps, books, tickets, receipts, banknotes, food and containers. In his 2009 solo exhibition "Hong Hao: Bottom" at Beijing Commune, the artist exhibitied a series that features the bottom half of everyday objects. By arranging the scanned images according to their forms and colors, he destructs the functional property of the materials and reproduces an undifferentiated, flattened, deliberately superficial world of aesthetics. While Hong Hao continues to work with found objects, "AS IT IS," his recent solo exhibition at Beijing Commune, deals with the physical forms in a more straightforward manner, creating an interesting dialectic development of both the vocabulary and concept of his art. His works are collected by many of the world's leading arts institutions including: The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Museum of Fine Arts, Hong Kong; The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and, The China National Museum of Fine Arts, Beijing.
