Kintsukuroi-Camouflage is a kind of anthropomorphic fabric. The pattern and texture explore the subtle differences of varied skin tones. Camouflage not only implies coexistence and cohesion as a material frequently serves for military supplies, but it also implies concealment and conflicts. The application of gold paint in this work originates from the idea of Kintsukuroi for repairing broken historical objects. These golden brushstrokes exude a delicate expression in both implicit convergence and mutual accomplishment. This expression fits into a broader understanding of ethnic communities through means of the anthropomorphic nature of the work.

PU YINGWEI
Pu Yingwei (b. 1989) lives and works in Beijing, China. As an active contributor to the new generation of political conceptual art in China, he critically engages with the socialist art genealogy. Pu Yingwei dedicates his work to articulating the changes in China’s identity amid globalization, exploring the deeper impact of China’s modernization and development model on global patterns through cross-cultural narratives. His practice employs various media, including painting, video, design, writing, and lecturing. He has developed a “new internationalist” artistic language based on his perception of Eastern civilization. In recent years, Pu Yingwei has deepened his global engagement, traveling to Eastern Europe, Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Americas, and the Caribbean, including regions like the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine, which are currently in conflict.
Pu received his BFA from Sichuan Fine Art Institute in 2013, DNSEP (MFA with Félicitation du jury) from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in 2018. He has been the recipient of several awards, including the John Moores Painting Prize, the Golden Hibiscus Award for Photography, and the International Awards for Art Criticism Prize (IAAC) for his writings. Pu has been recognized in prestigious lists such as Forbes China Contemporary Young Artists of the Year, Gen. T Asian Emerging Pioneers list, China Art power 100, and the HuaYu Youth Award, among others. He also received the TAG New Contemporary Art Prize, the Jimei Arles Discovery Reward, Porsche “Young Chinese Artist of the Year” Award, and was named the first “FT Chinese Artist of the year” by Financial Times.
