About the Artist

?

?

Yi Lian was born in Yichun, Jiangxi Province in 1987 and obtained M.A. from the School of Intermedia Art of China Academy of Art in 2012.Currently he lives and works in Hangzhou.

?

Yi Lian specializes in media artworks including video, installation, photography work, painting and so on. His works are often based on individual life experiences rather than purely abstract concepts or forms. His early works focus on the narrative of images, the construction of surreal scenes and the capture of absurdity in personal experience.?

?

In recent years, the key words of his works turn to "the other", "communication" and so on. Becoming aware of the complexity, impossibility and multiple layers of "communication" with the other, the artist tries to get a path through art to connect with, understand and experience the other (man/object/life), and also to touch and know oneself once again. "Art is glamorous because of its ability to share information with the other and relate to more."

Artist-in-Residence Programme

?

In 2016, the University initiated the Artist-in-Residence Programme to create an artistic atmosphere on campus and to elevate student's aesthetic taste. We regularly invite top artists from various fields to reside on campus, create artworks and hold workshops with students. The programme may last 5-10 days or 1-2 months. Artists will work with or guide students to create or appreciate artworks through workshops or lectures. Artists will also take into account resources available off campus to contribute towards our development.
