Ren Bo
Renbo is a Chinese artist. She lives and works in Beijing. Renbo’s works mix humour and playfulness alongside a serious intent, with a touch of pathos in the hopelessness. This combination works in a quiet way, to put the viewer in a strange position in relation to the objects and the subtle meanings of them. In the way that the pieces do not settle in their meanings or our experiences of them, this unease represents a small element of doubt in the world. The “calmness” of the works brings us up short. It does not express in itself nor does it demand physical or intellectual interaction. If it is an object it stands before us; if it is an image, it is presented to us, for consideration.
