Summary

"Fan Bo (born 1966 in Tianjin, lives in Guangzhou, China) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is guided by perception. In his early works, he created portraits in a figurative painting style of a variety of people wearing objects from their daily life like ornaments. Later, his art progressed in an increasingly abstract and conceptual direction; the objective was to depict the untouchable human spirit. Instead of painting the body, Fan Bo turned his attention to people's inner worlds. He explored the lives of blind people and learned Braille, their most important tool for communicating with the outside world. Making the invisible visible in a work of art became the central aim of his work. For the blind, he's a kind of medium who conceives of blindness as a journey into an extraordinary introspective space. This position as go-between provides the impulse for new works, which can be anything from installation, object, and drawing to video and photography. With texts by Tereza de Arruda and others"--Publisher's website.
