Trained as a painter, Chen Hangfeng (b. 1974, Shanghai) obtained his BA from the Fine Arts College of Shanghai University. His work includes drawing & painting, paper-cuts, photo, video, installation and performance. His practice deals with issues of surrounding commercialization, environmentalism, globalization and cultural transmutation, often realized through playful metaphors when he merges concepts and mediums like an alchemist.
His works have been shown and collected at: Art Labor Gallery, AM space, OV gallery, MoCA Shanghai, Rockbund Museum in Shanghai; Today Art Museum in Beijing; Videotage in Hong Kong; Palais de Tokyo in Paris; Collective Gallery in Edinburgh; CFCCA in Manchester; Casino Luxembourg in Luxembourg; Cable Gallery in Helsinki; SinArts Gallery in The Hague, White Rabbit Museum in Sydney; LAM and Tropenmuseum in the Netherlands.
For his first solo-show at the Gallery, we have commissioned a special text by independant Curator Rebecca Catching about his 2018 video Excited With No Reason. The work was also the title piece for the exhibition and brings together materials which Chen Hangfeng has produced over the past 8 years.
