CHAO FENG
Feng Chao (b. 2000), a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts in 2023, and a Master's degree in Painting from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London in 2025. He currently works and lives in London.
Feng Chao's artistic practice focuses on ‘hyper-narrative’ and the ‘rights of digital images’. Nurtured by screen media experience, he selects traffic images such as ‘video games’, ‘memes’, and ‘animations’, and uses mediums including spray guns and acrylics. He ‘graft’ these images into a special comic narrative structure to create a series of absurd and complex hyper-narrative works.
He emphasizes the independent rights of digital images and opposes the discipline and hegemony brought by the worship of online images. He advocates freeing images from instrumentalization, rejecting fixed narrative directions, and letting the meaning of the works depend entirely on the viewer's visual experience. By breaking the constraints of fixed narratives and image worship, he realizes the liberation of narrative and the revolution of image rights.
