Adriano Wu
I was born in 1991 in Inner Mongolia, and graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze in 2020.
My artistic practice began with the social tension between the individual and the collective, exploring the phenomenon of homogenization and the multidimensionality of identity within it. In my work, I continuously shift between the perspectives of the individual and the collective, revealing the mechanisms through which they influence and shape each other.
My works primarily use oil on canvas, with a visual language leaning toward surrealism. By merging elements of the subconscious and reality, I construct image structures filled with psychological tension, creating a visually charged space. Much of my inspiration comes from overlooked details in daily life. I employ symbols and metaphors to build a visual grammar that reflects on the structure of contemporary social landscapes.
My goal is to provide viewers with multiple entry points and potential interpretations through an open framework, sparking different insights and conceptual engagement.
