Gu Benchi

Background:

Gu Benchi works from a studio on the outskirts of Shanghai. Born in 1979, he gave up a career as a successful designer to become a full-time artist, and is known for his innovative technique using high-strength polyester threads stretched and fastened with stainless steel nails over acrylic painting on canvas. The threads are formed into complex, three-dimensional geometric patterns on vividly coloured backgrounds. Gu has joined numerous exhibitions, including last year’s “Cross-Straits Contemporary Art Exhibition” held at both the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei and the National Art Museum of China in Beijing. This year, the artist will participate in the 12th National Art Exhibition; the Asia Art Exhibition in Nice, France; the China Young Artist’s Exhibition; and the Asia Contemporary Art Show in Hong Kong.
