Miao Lei

Artist

Graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2007. His works have been invited to participate in international exhibitions for many times, and have held solo exhibitions at Wereld Museum in Rotterdam, Audi China Digital Center in Beijing Audi City, Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, and Zurich Seasons Gallery. Using super-sized screens in public spaces as canvases, he created a new art form - dynamic virtual painting. The common elements in his works—crystals, stones, water, and clouds—are not purely generated by computer programming or procedural algorithms, but are subjectively hand-painted by the artist using digital tools as brushes based on professional painting experience. Even the light changes and fluid trends in the works are constructed by hand-overlapping colors and wiring. This is his expansion and exploration of the medium form of traditional painting.

Project Introduction

What does time look like? Artist Mu Lei uses digital media to describe the form of time in his eyes - the eternally floating colorful water flow and the infinitely derived space crystallization. "The Dimension of Time" is the first chapter of Mu Lei's virtual dynamic painting "Dongxian" series. There is an old saying in China called "There is no other place in the world", which means that there is a magical world beyond a certain boundary. Therefore, between the square and the circle, the artist builds a "window" within the screen that allows for a surreal sensory experience. The spherical energy bodies wander in and out of each other's mirror images in the "window", one and two follow each other like shadows, and the movement and stillness circulate infinitely. A river of time flows endlessly, traversing between boundaries and infinity. Maybe this is the shape of time, maybe this is the gesture of time. By depicting the mirrored dimension of time, the artist attempts to map and explore the coexistence, derivation and infinite possibilities of human material and spiritual worlds and parallel virtual spaces.
