I aim to pursue a flow that feels natural — a deliberate act that unfolds without force. This paradox between control and spontaneity reflects the Taoist ideal of effortless action. Within that space, I find freedom — and I hope viewers find a place to reflect, to feel, to simply be.
Gao Xintong
Gao Xintong (b. 1998, Liaoning, China) is a contemporary artist whose painting practice merges Eastern philosophy with Western modernism. Grounded in Taoist thought and the principle of qi, Gao’s work explores the balance between movement and stillness through fluid abstraction. He holds both BFA and MFA degrees from the Academy of Fine Arts of Carrara, Italy, and has exhibited internationally, including solo presentations in London, New York, and Beijing, and group shows across Europe, China, and the United States.
