Nisky Yu
Nisky (* 1989) has always been in the field of painting and music. Nisky is an alias forged from the last letters of Federico Fellini and Krzysztof Kieslowski in homage to the artist’s favorite filmmakers.
Nisky’s works are the result of an ongoing interdisciplinary interest in the visual arts, music, literature and cinema. “Metacollage” is a new concept that emerged from the artist’s practice on paper and canvas – an attempt to “transcend the boundaries of collage” and to form a “superior unity” between painting and other art forms, based on the “ syntactic structure ”of different materials through a chain of chemical reactions to finally achieve“ complete osmosis ”. For this creative venture, the artist chooses materials that are rich in contradictions and struggles, thus picking up on traditions and moving forward.
The artist has been exclusively represented by Galerie Dumonteil since 2012. Nisky’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions including Phosphenes I & II (2017), The Interlacement Landscape (2014), The Circular Maze (2013), Multi-Nisky (2011) etc. The artist has also participated in international art fairs such as PAD Paris , PAD London, Art021 and Jing Art Beijing, etc. And his work has been collected by private collectors and corporations around the world, including a permanent exhibition in Xintiandi, Shanghai.
Wang Zhiyi
Wang Zhiyi (* 1991) graduated from the Mural and Complex Material Painting department of the Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2014. Today he lives and works in Wuhan. His creative practice includes painting, installation, wall painting, sound, photography, and other synthetic media. Focusing on symbolism and the implications of color and graphics in perception, the artist explores the relationships between human psychology and image, sound and text.
