"Circadian rhythm " ——Cheng Ran's Solo Exhibition
“Open time: 2011 March 19 - April 8 exhibition location: Hangzhou qingbomen 465 number
Organizer: Qingying Gallery


Young artist Cheng Ran's solo exhibition will be held at Qingying Gallery (清影画廊): "Circadian rhythm " (昼夜之渐). By means of make-ups and editings, the artist quotes the elements from the horror films. Using the basic film languages like zombies to create a group of whole new videos, installations and stage photos, he has represented a inhuman figure (portrait) without any expressions or thoughts, fighting alone in the midst of isolated wasteland. In the composition, the artist tries to express the tiny fractures and deadlocks in the reality, emotional and spiritual worlds via metaphors of personal understandings of phobias and formalist esthetics.
