Great Doubt疑情疑情

Chen Zhou, born in 1987 in Zhejiang, China, is currently based in Shanghai. He primarily works with painting, video, and performance art, focusing on the human experience of existence. In his early works, mainly in video, he explored the absurdity of contemporary life, the performative and deceptive aspects of identity, and the loneliness and alienation within virtual worlds. In recent years, he has increasingly focused on painting and performance. His long-term studies of Buddhist philosophy have gradually influenced his work, giving it an inner spiritual force, a tranquil aura, and an Oriental surrealist style.

In this phase, Chen has begun to explore the relationships between the body, space, perception, spirit, and energy.A core motif in his recent works is the Guanyin Vase, symbolizing a meditative state of stillness. At the same time, he incorporates more primal imagery, such as water, fire, earth, smoke, and skeletal remains, using methods like arrangement, ritual, and meditation to create a sensory threshold space, through which he investigates more subtle dimensions of human existence.He has participated in numerous international exhibitions, and his performance piece Form as Emptiness IV(2024) was featured at the Centre Pompidou.

陈轴，1987年⽣于浙江，毕业于北京中央美术学院，现⼯作⽣活于上海。他以绘画、影像和⾏为表演为主要创作媒介，⻓期关注现代⼈的存在体验。其早期创作以影像为主，聚焦当代⽣活的荒诞与虚拟世界的孤独。近年来他的实践更多涉及绘画与⾏为表演，其⻓期研习的佛家思想逐渐渗⼊创作，在创作中追求内在精神⼒、静谧感，以形成独具个⼈特⾊的东⽅超现实⾊彩⻛格。

在此阶段，陈轴开始探索身体、空间、知觉、精神、能量之间的关系。其近期作品中核⼼意象是象征冥想静⽌状态的观⾳瓶。同时，他也借⽤更多的原始意象，例如⽔、⽕、⼟、烟、⻣骸等，通过布阵、仪式与冥想等⼿法营造出⼀个感官临界空间，以探寻⼈类更细微的存在体验。他曾参与多项国际展览，其表演作品《形同虚设IV》（2024）曾在蓬⽪杜艺术中⼼展出。
