About this artwork
This unique monoprint (1/1) is a central piece from my “Wild” series. Deliberately stepping away from the traditional reproductive nature of printmaking, this artwork was created as a singular, unrepeatable impression. This choice of a unique edition is a direct homage to the philosophy it embodies: the absolute singularity of every living organism.
The conceptual foundation of this piece is rooted in a profound philosophical inquiry into the nature… of growth—specifically, the eternal dance between “chaos” and “order.”
This artwork is not merely a representation of nature; it is an existential visual poem. It captures the essence of what it means to be “wild”—reminding us that true vitality is born precisely at the intersection of chaotic expansion and orderly formation.

I'm Gu, Lei (b.1971, Shanghai). I studied at the Shanghai Xingzhi Art Normal school and driven by a profound passion for art, I resolutely embarked on the path of a self-taught, independent artist.
In my early works, I was deeply influenced by the Expressionist master Anselm Kiefer, focusing more on expressing profound reflections on the weight of history, human and space. As I came to understand and deeply resonate with Eastern Buddhism and Zen philosophy, my painting gradually shifted towards abstraction and the Xieyi (expressive freehand) style. And from that time, I began exploring new forms of expression, including the integration of Chinese ink and acrylic, as well as freestyle woodcut.
Through my art, I hope to explore the dialectical relationships between ‘presence and absence’ and ‘the solid and the void’ . I tried to combine fluidity, resistance, and blank space to express my observations and experiences of the world, as well as my rethink on humanity and nature.
