Zhanchao Pan
About
Bio
The works of Zhanchao Pan (Yuyi) are grounded in self-inquiry, spiritual reflection and theoretical research, to elucidate the intricate interconnection between the material world and the deeper spiritual realm. The works employ dynamic visual effects and a variety of colours and textures in an attempt to establish a connection with the viewer. Her creative output is shaped by a number of personal factors, including her upbringing, her personality, and her Buddhist beliefs. She is committed to capturing the nuances of life and transforming them into a nuanced emotional language. Her focus on the self and the human condition has enabled her to establish a clear connection between her creative direction and the human experience. Her artistic output represents a synthesis of her lived experience, life trajectory and the existence of individual differences.
Yuyi employs a diverse array of techniques, both traditional and contemporary, and is receptive to experimentation. She utilizes an extensive range of materials in an abstract or whimsical manner, primarily in the context of installations, as well as in video, photography, and performance art. This multifaceted approach enables her to offer a distinctive perspective on topics pertaining to personal identity, emotional relationships, and social issues. The artist has been engaged in a diverse range of creative pursuits. Yuyi attempts to synthesise these tangible and intangible sentiments and ideas within her artistic practice, thereby prompting a more profound engagement with the subject matter and prompt reflection on the concepts of sensory equilibrium, concord and intrinsic perceptivity.
At present, the central focus of Yuyi's artistic endeavours is the exploration of identity, psychology, philosophy and religion. This has led to the development of her distinctive artistic language and style, through which she attempts to express her personal vision in an abstract manner. She also encourages others to recognise the paradoxes and beauty inherent in the everyday.
