Gao Hang's recent work reflects on the evolution of digital graphics, informed by his encounters with 3D modeling and graphic rendering in video games. His artistic process is uniquely influenced by standup comedy, using humor, absurdity, and brutal honesty to engage with the complex issues technology presents. Hang's latest paintings explore 'definition' in art, juxtaposing the rawness of digital imagery with emotions elicited through the painting process. He aims to simulate modern production methods while allowing for creative freedom and emotional expression within his work.
When I first encountered 3D modeling and graphic rendering in computer games in the late 20th century, I was totally shocked. I was inspired by the fact that 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. The effect is an actual physical feedback during process: could be surprise, a shifting attitude, a more extreme emotion-my secretions as a human being.
