Non Character Non View – Works by Leo Fan
Titled “Non Character Non View”, the exhibition focuses on writing and photography as main art media. Combined with the Buddhist philosophical thought of “If all forms are seen not as forms”, the title aims to look at how “characters” and “views” can become bridges to transcend the self in the hands of the artist.
Born in the 1970s, Leo Fan loves and practiced calligraphy since the third grade of elementary school, and he had a strong passion and pursuit of copying calligraphy books. When he arrived at middle school, he performed very well in art subjects, apart from calligraphy and painting, he practiced dancing and sports as well.
In college, Leo Fan was enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in film and television arts at Beijing Normal University. After returning to Macau, he has been engaged in middle school calligraphy and visual arts education.
The only previous solo exhibition he had was Our Belle Epoque held in Ox Warehouse in 2017. After the 2017 painting exhibition, Fan’s daily practices are more about writing and photographing.
