Yu Xingze (Chinese: 于幸泽, Xiuyan, Liaoning Province, *1976) is a Chinese contemporary visual artist living between Bochum, Beijing and Shanghai.

Life

Yu was born in the Liaoning Province, in northern China, in 1976.[1] From 1996 to 2000 he completed his bachelor's degree at the Lu Xun Fine Arts Academy, in Shenyang, around 250 km north of his hometown Xiuyan. In 2001, at the age of 25, he moved to Europe to study at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Art under the German artist Jörg Immendorff. Fearing that the influence of the strong willed master would have suppressed his individual style and seeking for academic experience in more than only one establishment, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Art in Kassel in 2002.[2] In 2006, he earned his master's degree in painting at the Kunsthochschule Kassel, Germany, under Professor Jurgen Meyer.[3] In 2013 he had his PhD from the School of Architecture of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China. He is now an associate professor at School of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Tongji University in Shanghai and works between there, Beijing and Bochum.[4] His works have been exhibited in Europe, China and the US.

Artistic work

When studying abroad in Germany, Yu has found a transparent chemical fabric, solid and with closely, woven meshes, which could be seen through from front to back. This kid of fabric, after slightly processing, can be a painting medium. Its transparency implicates the creation of a hybrid dimension that consists of both the virtual space created through the artist's brush stokes and the physical space in front and behind the canvas. The painted net between the subject and the observer, the incisiveness of the chiaroscuro and the round thicker layers of colour tidily painted by the artist at regular distance collaborate to intensify this effect. The "spatialisation“ and "sensitisation“ of painting have already become a new trend of this era, and this group of transparent paintings by Yu just corresponds to this new indication, being of great inspiration for the development of painting methods.[5]

Thematically, one has the impression that the world, in which the subjects of Yu Xingze's painting live, is a rather mysterious one. Gorillas, a gun, philanthropists, scientists, a nobel peace prize laureate, toys, heroes, flowers, stars: the effort of finding a logical contact point between them is regularly nullified by their variety. Once disproved a thematic rational categorisation, one can only let go and enter the evanescent world created by the artist to storage and process every piece of information he gathers. In this optic, the spatial dimension he creates with his sophisticated techniques only serves the purpose of housing this ephemeral mind constructs, clearly affirming their contingency thought daring stylistic choices.
