Dou Bu

DOU Bu is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, performance, video, and experimental art. He has been actively engaged in the contemporary art scene in China for many years, presenting solo exhibitions, group shows, and performance works across a range of art spaces and international

His artistic practice consistently explores themes of memory, identity, and social experience, with a strong emphasis on process-based and embodied forms of expression. Characterized by a cross-disci-plinary approach and an experimental visual language, his work reflects an ongoing inquiry into the relationships between body, time, and lived experience.

Dou's practice is more introspective and conceptually oriented, centering on themes of time, memory, and disappearance. He adopts fragile, everyday natural forms-such as leaves and branches-as recurring motifs, deliberately avoiding grand narratives or fixed conceptual conclusions. Instead, his work seeks traces of existence through repetition, documentation, and the transformation of materials.

Spanning painting, drawing, performance, and video, his practice foregrounds process and uncertainty, treating overlooked moments as the substance of creation itself. In this exhibition, Bu Dou's works unfold in a near-whispering register-not as declarations, but as acts of preservation-inviting viewers to quietly re-sense the weight of time and the passing of life.
