Xiaohan Luo 罗小涵 (b.2000)

Xiaohan Luo was born in 2000, China. She currently lives in London and study Master of Research in Royal College of Art. Her BA is Fine Arts at Jiangsu Second Normal University, China. She also had a Print(MA)in RCA.

She mostly uses time,sensory experience and memory as the themes of her works, and expresses them through paintings, printmaking, installations, photography and moving images.

Where of one cannot speak, there of one must be silent.-Ludwig Wittgenstein

Using painting and pictorial vision as a starting point, feelings, memories, time, and individual experiences of growing up are the inspirations and themes that motivate my art practice. Leading by the power of language, I embark on a journey to document and observe my interactions and hidden connections with the world and convey them through mediums such as photography,installation,painting,sculpture,etc. They help me invite viewers to join me on a journey of sensation, where time and space interlace.

As my personal awareness grows, I search for the narrative of the 'ME' as a subject, exploring the personal emotions and sensory experiences within images, space, and invisible subjects. Most of my works are reflections of my daily experience, capturing the essence of existence itself and the immediacy of the interactions between myself and theworld.

In my recent works, l employ the power of images and paintings to convey my way of seeing through abstraction. I am attracted to the sounds I hear as a hearing-impaired person, as well as emotions evoked in disparate places. The intimate and complex relationship between my hearing and body movement is the core of my recent work. Seeking connections across time and space, I hold the belief that silence itself is a form of sound, representing the essence of my artistic perspective. It is a topic that has long captivated my interest.

在不可言说之处，人必须保持沉默。（路德维希-维特根斯坦 ）

以绘画和图像视觉为起点，情感、记忆、时间和个人成长经历是我艺术创作的灵感和主题。

在语言力量的引领下，我踏上了记录和观察我与世界的互动和隐秘联系的旅程，并通过摄影、装置、绘画等媒介将它们传递出去。它们也帮助我邀请观众加入我的旅程时空交错的感官之旅。

随着我个人意识的增强，我开始寻找 “我 ”作为主体的叙事方式，探索图像、空间中的个人情感和感官体验。我的大部分作品反映了我的日常捕捉存在本身的本质以及我与世界之间互动的直接性。

在我最近的作品中，我运用图像和绘画的力量，通过抽象的方式传达我的观察方式。吸引我的是我作为一个听障人士听到的声音，以及在不同地方唤起的情感和记忆。我的听力与身体运动之间亲密而复杂的关系是我近期作品的核心。为了寻求跨越时间和空间的联系，我相信沉默本身是一种声音的形式，这也代表了我的艺术视角的本质。同时，这是一个长期以来一直吸引着我的话题。
