About

Art is indivisible from Wu’s life. Art practice and exhibition are the means Wu connected and communicated with the outer world. His works are highly personal and emotional. Influenced by deconstructionism, he constantly investigated the context and experience in his daily life, exploring the brutal beauty and sugar-coated poison. Because of his bachelor study in counselling and psychology, he believed in the therapeutic power of making art as a self-healing process. The process of making artwork was an attempt to resolve life problems and to relieve distress. Inspired by conceptual artists such as Kit Lee and fashion designers such as Martin Margiela, Wu paid a lot attention to social movement as well as the pursue of aesthetic expression. Therefore, his works ranged from improving and helping himself and his surrounding people, to revealing injustice from personal trauma. He recycled waste such as wood and ceramics as art materials to craft custom-made furniture and political sculpture. He painted T-shirts and bed sheets to sublimate implicit wounds. He made obscure installation to prompt questions and discussion about life and to trigger discussion. Most recently, Wu devoted in human right social movement. Being a local Hong Konger, his art practice drew international attention to the human rights violations in Hong Kong.
