Yang Zheming and Wang Hanwen are a young couple who have studied and created together in Italy, and are also the best artists in the "Free Painting Workshop" of Ku Art. In the 2020 "The Future Has Come - Outstanding Young Overseas Artist Nomination Program", Zhe Ming's work was nominated by Tan Ping's mentor and finally won the award. The works of the two of them look very different, but if you understand them more deeply, you will find that there are many deep fits in their works.

One of The first installation works that Attracted Everyone's attention was "Crossing the Boundary", a drop of bright red blood, penetrated through the layers of funnels and six sheets of tissue paper, and finally solidified into a faint red-black mark, full of metaphysical meaning. That drop of blood was like a sacrifice, revealing his understanding of the pain of the flesh and the asceticism of entering the world. But he is not a believer, nor is he showing off suffering or salvation, but merely appealing to pure experience. In the video work "We Can't Live Forever", it is full of retention of the perishable and a desire for purity. As the title of the work, "Cannot Last Forever," implies that a blood-red or scratch mark is the mark of "retention." This personal experience—whether joyful or painful—is real. Existence is eternity.

Han Wen's works are mainly paintings, and her works have the purity and spirituality that Zhe Ming cherishes. She is not as as hardworking and tenacious as Zhe Ming, but soft, innocent, and ethereal, just like the drop of blood in Zhe Ming's work, transparent and clean, but easy to be contaminated and damaged. Painting is also a trace of the creator's time and space dancing with the canvas, sharing with it unspeakable joy or pain. However, all this has disappeared with the completion of the work, just like the water evaporates in the air, and the colorful picture becomes a "failure" retention.

The art of Zhe Ming and Han Wen is poetic, with joy, pain, retention, and relief. I imagine that when these works are placed in the exhibition hall, opposite the viewer, everyone can read their own experiences and memories, experience the perishability of existence and the fullness of life. If all the good will eventually pass away and there is no way to save it, let the experience of the moment be more intense!

Yang Zheming's works convey a strong life experience, he expresses his personal cognition of life through human blood and other media, combined with comprehensive factors such as behavior, time and space, which is very subtle but gives people a strong shock.

In my consciousness, the work grows and takes shape naturally, it originates from every inadvertent moment, in fact, it is in your mind. We go to capture its breath, and in the process of completing it you will encounter all kinds of bugs, and this trace of the path that is out of the original plan is an indispensable fun to the picture, and it is also the starting point of another paragraph.
