Artist, writer and researcher Chen Fankuan was born in Hangzhou, currently resides and works in London.
"Diving in the billows of history, I am always immersed in the elapse of past dynasties and the elegy of constant political movements that shaped contemporary china. Haunted by the phantoms of impermanence and drenched in the tides of time, a hazy shade of somniloquy flows between myself and my homeland. Shapes of the landscape become integrated as the unspoken sounds of my familial encounters lost in the vicissitudes of inextricably entwined, overlapping histories."
