Xiao Bo, born in Hangzhou in 1977, graduated from the Comprehensive Painting Department of China Academy of Art and currently works and lives in Hangzhou. Xiao Bo’s works present a state of hidden subjectivity, where the trace of the subject is revealed through his method settings. The subsequent process unfolds like an automatic program, driven by catalytic conditions such as material properties, aesthetic intuition, language rules, or bodily movements. Each parallel series adheres to similar generative structures yet leads to different visual results.
His solo exhibitions include: “Kai Ye Da Ji,” The Delta INST, Hangzhou (2025); “Pure and Kind Dinner Party,” Imagination Mechanics Lab, Hangzhou (2023); “22,” 1000 PRESS, Hangzhou (2022); “Problem Solving,” MUUM Art Space, Hangzhou (2022); “Two Methods,” Today Art Museum, Beijing (2018); “Xiao Bo,” World Gallery, Hong Kong (2018); “One Another,” 55 Gallery, Shanghai (2017); “Stay,” 55 Gallery, Shanghai (2015); “Fragments,” Platform China, Beijing (2008); “Frame,” Platform China, Beijing (2006); “Repetitive Repetition,” Doart, Beijing (2006).
