Gu Enzheng
Gu Enzheng
Born in 1999 in Liaoning Province, graduated with a bachelor's degree in Printmaking from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 2021. In 2024, he completed his master's degree in Woodcut Printmaking at the same institution. Currently, he lives and works in Hebei Yanjiao.
Gu excels in exploring materials, with a strong focus on woodcut printmaking. For him, the carving knife acts as both a tool of destruction and a means of releasing anxiety. Influenced by traditional woodcut techniques, he uses the knife as a pen to express hormonally charged impulses. The language of woodcut is inherently restrictive, yet this limitation allows him to channel anxiety, unease, and restlessness into a momentary cathartic outburst. This emotional intensity transforms into an absurd sense of tragedy in his work, creating a bridge for communication with the outside world. Through a humorous yet poignant visual language, his art seeks redemption and transformation.
