Artist-in-residence CHAN13 WIP — Working across mural, oil painting, installation, architectural design, and independent watchmaking, CHAN13 develops a multi-dimensional perspective drawn from these varied practices. His works frequently capture the threshold between memory and dream — for example, the split second of “tip-of-the-tongue” forgetfulness, or the elusive fading of a dream’s residue upon waking.
驻地艺术家 陈十三CHAN13 WIP —— 壁画、油画、装置、建筑设计与独立制表的多元时间实践赋予陈十三多维视角，他的作品常捕捉记忆与梦境的边缘状态 —— 譬如提笔忘字的刹那，或梦醒后余韵渐失的微茫。

Xeme @xememex is a Hong Kong based artist whose distinct textual style has marked the city in bold strokes since 2001. Since then, he has primarily dedicated his art form to letters and abstract patterns.
His work evolves constantly but is always rooted in his graffiti background, from painting in Chinese characters to Chinese calligraphy on his canvas works. Recently he‘s been exploring art in low-resolution digital form with a mix of his graffiti art in coexistence with modern technology and retrospective digital art

Huang Liwei (aka whyyy) @whyyyarts has been using spray paint as his primary medium since 2001. Recognized as a pioneer of mural art in China, his practice is rooted in wall painting while extending into canvas and installation. His work avoids overt conceptual statements, much like the artist himself—naturally embodying the energy of Western urban art alongside the spiritual depth of Eastern traditions.
In recent years, his practice has increasingly focused on reflections on “time” and “space.” Through an abstract visual language and a direct, intuitive approach, he invites viewers into his world. In his work, time is no longer linear but unfolds as a continuous flow, where beginnings and endings dissolve into one another. Space expands beyond physical constraints into a multidimensional field.
Within this evolving framework, Liwei encourages reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature and the connections between past, present, and future. His work suggests an open field of possibilities, where the raw spirit of Western urban art meets the enduring wisdom of Eastern philosophy.
黄立煒（又名 whyyy）自 2001 年起开始以喷漆作为其主要创作媒介，被认为是中国第一代城市壁画喷绘的艺术家。他的创作以墙体喷绘为原点，逐渐拓展至布面绘画和装置。
他的作品中没有任何刻意或概念性的宣张，如同艺术家本人一样，浑然天成地体现真正城市壁画艺术的“精”和东方水墨书法绘画中的“神”，一种克制而饱满的力量。
近年来艺术家对“时间”与“空间”概念的思考愈发深入。通过抽象的语言，立煒真诚地邀请观众深入他的世界。在他的艺术叙事中，时间超越了传统的界限，将开始与结束的概念融合成一个无缝的连续体，同时，多维空间不断蔓延。面对因科技和政治不断演变而带来的新秩序，立煒通过作品引导我们思考：即人类应如何重新评估自身与自然的联系，并找到自己与过去、现在和未来的连接。他的创作深刻地提醒我们创造性表达的无限可能，通过融合西方原始精神和东方哲学智慧的方式。

GAS @gas_kb began painting graffiti on the streets at the age of 15. Long active in China’s street culture scene, he is among the earliest creators in the country to consistently engage in both graffiti practice and community organizing. His work is rooted in Chinese characters and employs the negative color relationship of photographic film to express the idea of subject-object reversal triggered by the act of photography. He holds an unyielding commitment to individual dignity and self-reflection. His egalitarian and sincere nature has allowed him to build trust with fellow creators across age and background, leading to sustained collective actions.
Throughout his long career, GAS has never been content to repeat his own signature style. His works from different periods take on distinctly different forms, as he constantly seeks to break established formal logic. The “Qi” series is one of the central themes running through his 20 years of creation. He persistently explores graffiti writing through his concept of the written word.
GAS 15岁开始在街头使用喷漆进行涂鸦创作，长期活跃于中国街头文化现场，是国内较早一批持续进行涂鸦实践与组织工作的创作者之一。他的创作题材以中文为基础，运用相片胶卷成像的反色关系，表达作品主体与客体之间因拍摄而产生的彼此对调置换的观念。他对个体的尊严与自省有着近乎执着的坚持，这种对等且真诚的个性，使他与许多创作者建立起跨越年龄与身份背景的信任，并持续共同行动。
在漫长的创作生涯中，GAS从不满足于签名风格的重复，不同阶段的作品呈现出截然不同的面貌，始终尝试打破既定的形式逻辑。「气」系列是其贯穿20年创作的重要主题之一。他以文字观念持续探索涂鸦书写。

He Li (SEVE), born in 1989, has been deeply engaged in graffiti since 2006. His practice centers on the cross-disciplinary fusion of realistic portraiture and street graffiti. With the restraint and precision of a realist visual language, he enters into dialogue with the raw energy of graffiti, constructing a striking visual tension between finely rendered figures and the expressive force of spray-painted gestures.
By dissolving the boundaries between realism and graffiti, his work brings together two distinct aesthetic systems to form a singular artistic language, infusing street art with a deeper sense of humanistic weight and emotional resonance.
何力（SEVE），生于1989年，自2006年起深耕涂鸦创作领域。创作以写实肖像与街头涂鸦的跨界融合为核心表达，以写实语言的严谨克制，对话街头涂鸦的原生张力，在细腻的人物刻画与喷绘艺术的奔放笔触之间，构建出极具冲击力的视觉张力。
作品打破了写实与涂鸦的边界，用两种截然不同的美学特质碰撞出独树一帜的艺术语言，赋予街头艺术更厚重的人文质感与情感内核。

Yuan @vance_dna is a contemporary artist working across painting and sculpture. His practice centers on the concept of light and transparency, treating it as both material and metaphor. Through a transparent visual language, he constructs a suspended space between presence and illusion, where perception continuously shifts and transforms.

SATR @satrxx has been engaged in street art since 2013. She has developed a distinctive spray-paint technique based on mist-like form construction, giving her depictions of animals a strong sense of movement, as if shaped by vapor and air. In contrast to the realism of Western oil painting, her practice investigates the translucency of spray paint in graffiti, allowing her work to retain an ink-like sensibility even outside the use of traditional Chinese painting tools.
As a result, SATR’s works reveal a fusion of Western graffiti’s raw expressiveness and the softness of Eastern painting traditions. This balance of fluidity and intensity runs throughout her practice. Her signature, inspired by ancient seal carving, further serves as an Eastern marker she consistently embeds within her visual language.
SATRSATR 自13年开始接触街头艺术至今。她独创的喷漆雾化形体塑造法，使其笔下的动物极具动感，以雾为形。不同于西方油画的写实塑造，将涂鸦喷漆的通透感研究深刻，使其作品在剥离中国传统绘画工具外，依旧有水墨韵味。
故此 SATR 作品中能看到西方涂鸦深刻的狂放与东方画法的柔和写意，这股柔美的狂放一直贯穿在其作品中。古老篆刻印章式的签名，都是她向外界传递的东方印记。

Pang Fan (Fansack), @fansack born in 1988 in Chengdu, is active between Paris and Chengdu. Since engaging in street art in 2003, he has developed a distinctive visual language. In 2008, he moved to France to study at Aix-Marseille University and Sorbonne University, establishing a cross-cultural foundation for his practice.
Working across painting, murals, and spatial installations, his practice draws on Eastern aesthetics and mysticism, integrating contemporary street culture with visual art contexts. Through the deconstruction and recomposition of imagery from Chinese tradition and subcultures, he constructs a visual language that combines spirituality, poetic sensibility, and contemporary expression. His works unfold between meditative stillness and underlying tension, reflecting an ongoing dialogue between individual consciousness and the present.
His work has been exhibited across Europe and Asia and recognized by international institutions and collectors. He also engages in cross-disciplinary collaborations with global brands and cultural projects, extending his practice between contemporary art and public culture.
