Gao Hang

In the newest article for L'Officiel USA, Saša Bogojev interviews the Chinese artist Gao Hang and other artists like Maja Djordjevic, Vickie Vainionpää and César Piette. "The digital world, social media, and the Metaverse—technologies that grew up alongside me—formed my visual language. I use colors and forms to create characters that resonate with the early 21st century and the first 3-D residents in the digital world; these characters were not made as artwork but as the essential function of new technology" - Gao Hang, 2022.

Hongkong, October 5th, 2022 The newest article written by Shawn Ghassemitari features the solo exhibition Gao Hang's "My Bad Ideas" on view until October 29th at the PULPO GALLERY. "[...] From the last 20 years, I was inspired by the fact that how graphical spectaculars could end up being rawness and ridicule in the digital image evolution. However, it is that rawness and ridicule that triggers the same creative impulse with what the painting process can offer [...]." - Gao Hang

Among four other artists (Excalibur, Elise Rose, Shin Oh and Nichole Shinn) Gao Hang was featured in Liz Gorny's article "Five creatives inspired by early gaming nostalgia". "The Houston-based artist’s work is full of blurriness that tech-based images from the turn of the century (particularly video game characters) are known for. According to Hang, it is his use of airbrushing and colour field painting that allows him to “give the sharpest/clearest images of blurry objects” possible."
