| About: | |
Feng Zhixuan excels in the exploration and creative application of materials, invoking cultural resonance by transforming readily available objects or materials hidden in the everyday texture, thus realizing what he refers to as the "material-making history" process. His works often dynamically and vigorously blend elements of mythology, technology, ecology, and space imagination. His fascination with large infrastructure projects stems from his childhood visual experiences—witnessing extensive building construction—and his reading of science fiction, which catalyzed the imaginative link between architectural structures and mysticism. To him, materials are both a cultural adhesive and a product of resistance. His works are imbued with traces of "resistance" against the contemporary urban environment and dehumanized production, cultivating an ecosystem for human imagination amidst the remnants of thermal industrial ruins. In his recent creations, on one hand, he insists on using the most accessible industrial materials—prefabricated metal, concrete, tree resin, fiberglass—materials that, like the artist, "grew up" in a major infrastructure environment and are heavily stockpiled; on the other hand, he delves into his personal background—born into a traditional Chinese medicine family on the southeast coast—integrating various materials closely associated with his family history, such as Chinese medicinal herbs, shells, and ancient coins, which are familiar and emotionally significant to the local residents in their daily lives. As symbols of culture, these materials are intricately linked to the abundant goods brought about by economic growth and trading expeditions. This also fully demonstrates Feng Zhixuan's reflections on the trend towards localization in globalization, the trade patterns in the post-pandemic era, and issues of ecological energy in recent years |
