Guo Yingguang
Guo Yingguang’s artistic practice revolves around public issues, opening up personal experiences to the public, then incorporating external feedbacks and impacts into individual reflection and extension on works, suffused a tug between publicity and privacy. She is adept at multi-media practice, combing installation, videography, sculpture, painting, photography, happening as well as external composition to convey abundant yet delicate emotions. She often adopts intricate and concise visual language, controversial themes, to lead reflection and spark discussion in both the art world as well as in society.
Guo Yingguang, born in 1983 in Liaoning, China, holds a Master’s degree in Photography from London College of Communication (UAL), a Bachelor’s degree in Photography Communication University of China. She currently lives and works in Beijing and Huaxin.
Guo Yingguang has won Jimei ARLES 2017 Madame Figaro Women Photography
Festival with the series “The Bliss of Conformity” at the start of her career and was invited to exhibit at Rencontres d’Arles International Photography Festival in France. She was recommended by international artists such as Sophie Calle and Paul Graham. In 2019, at the invitation of Simon Baker (former chief photography curator at Tate), Guo Yingguang’s first solo exhibition “Guo Yingguang: The Bliss of Happiness” opened at Maison Européenne de la Photograph- ie, making her the first Chinese female artist to hold a solo exhibition at MEP.
After years of reflexivity and creative overthrow to cope with public voices, Guo Yingguang’s second solo exhibition realized in 2022 with a more abstract, integrate and agile method to experiment her practice, con- tinuing her path of two-way critical acceptance on external public/social structure and chimeric art, illustrating individual identity and personal experiences in new perspectives.
