Overview
Hou Zichao consistently revisits the point between man made and natural forms, often via staged artificial landscape painting, rendered in striking hues and shades of acrylic paint on linen. Reflecting his life lived between Europe and Asia, his constructed scenes are visibly multicultural in inspiration. His compositions function as stage sets for the occlusion of unfamiliar and recognisable forms, with a luminosity suggestive of the digital screen, he creates a facsimile of nature, and a projected landscape of the future.
