T-Minus 10 days until Hangzhou based artist Peng Jian's new solo exhibition "Generative Canvas" commences! We are beyond excited to share his new series of canvas works, which is inspired by his creative thread of observing everyday life, to everyday actions.
In his new series, Peng adapted software regeneration in his creative process. As selected photographs are repeatedly regenerated, the new images are used as a blueprint for his final artworks on canvas. This method excludes factor of randomness, and instilled algorithmic processes in his creations.
Seen in new works of "Generative Canvas", Peng Jian mainly focuses on the "identity" of the image over representation. He favours "what it is" over "what it looks like", in which the method and concept changes how we evaluate the traditional dexterity of an artist. Instead, the combination of digital editing and human input celebrates exciting possibilities.
Join us for the opening reception of "Generative Canvas" on 15 August 2024 between 5:00 - 8:00 pm. The artist will be present.
