Liang Hao (梁浩) is a young artist from Canton, China in 1988. He is obsessed with painting hands and their reflection. It unfolds the space and opens the imagination on canvas. When you look at Liang Hao's paintings, you get a sense of emptiness, joy, and slight frustration. There’s something off that you can’t quite put a finger on, like you’re in some kind of clinical dream.
The bright and even canvas creates a sterile plane while the luminescent objects seems to melt into the frame. A relationship between concrete and abstract emerges. Heavily inspired by baroque philosophy Liang delves into philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s explication of The Fold. Deleuze posits that our current reality is constantly becoming, or coming into being, therefore folds between the different expressions of the present contain unique reflections of reality.
