"Well known Japanses photographer Kanemura Osamu's teacher once told him a very important thing, 'You have to find ways to make all the scenes overlap'. This idea provided me a solid concept for my artwork"
Shanghai based artist Gu Benchi uses innovative materials in his practice of weaving polyester thread into splendid three-dimensional wall hangings, sculptures and site-specific installations. With high-vibrational colours and geometric patterns his lattice matrixes are complex in structure and mathematical balance emphasising the cyclical nature of the universe being without beginning nor end.
