侯萬超 George Hou

George Hou, born in 1970, relocated from Beijing to Shenzhen in 1992, where he has lived and worked ever since. He is a follower of classicism with an avant-garde experimental spirit. Hou believes that understanding the essence of material reality is the foundation of existence, and that the transcendental dimensions accumulated through this process of understanding embody the true meaning of life.
His art seeks to bridge classical history with the boundless unknowns of the future, pursuing a sense of creative eternity within specific, localized conditions—an endeavor he sees as the true direction of life.
George firmly believes that the immediacy of the mind is the source of creation. He sees contemporary art as the most direct and effective catalyst for activating perception and thought, and views contemporary ink painting as a vast and profound vessel of the soul.
侯萬超,1970年生,1992年自北京遷居深圳工作至今。是一位擁有先鋒實驗精神的古典主義追隨者。他認為理解物質的本質是生存的基礎,而在這個理解過程中積累的人類超越性的面向,才是我們最應該認知的生命意義。他的藝術旨在將古典的歷史與未來未知的無界領域聯結起來,並在局部條件下追求創造性的永恆,這是他認為生命真正的方向。
侯萬超堅信,心靈的即時性是創造的源泉。他認為當代藝術是最直接且有效的感知思維的啟動器,而當代水墨則是一個宏大而深邃的心靈載體。
