侯⼦超的实践涉及绘画和装置在内的多种媒介,关注当下⽂化语境中⼈与⾃然间的⽭盾关系。他利⽤图像语⾔强调⼈造景观与真实⾃然的距离,以及徘徊于安稳花园与欲望荒野之间的理想环境。在电⼦图像观看习惯与艺术家绘画⾏为的对峙中,隐藏着古代占⼘与数据算法间复杂且个⼈化的表达——通过图层的堆叠与信息提取,从⽽实现“混乱”画⾯与抽象意向间的微妙平衡。⽽⾃然对于侯⼦超,像是⼀个取之不竭的数据库,掏出⼏个字符,便能组合成这个“理想的景观”。


Born in 1988 in Shanxi, China, he received his BA Honors degree from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2012 and his Master's degree from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2013.

Hou Zichao's practice involves a variety of media, including painting and installation, which focuses on the ambivalent relationship between man and nature in the current cultural context. His pictorial language emphasizes the distance between artificial landscape and nature, and an ideal environment that hovers between the garden of tranquility and the wilderness of desire. In the confrontation between the electronic image viewing habits and the artist's painting behavior, a complex and personal expression between ancient divination and data algorithm is hidden—through the superimposition of pictorial layers and the extraction of information, a delicate balance between "chaotic"images and abstract intentions is achieved. For Hou Zichao, the nature is like an inexhaustible database that can be assembled into an "ideal scenery”by pulling out a few characters.
