Gao Rong, born in 1986 in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, graduated from Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts. Initially taught embroidery by her grandmother, Gao Rong now safeguards native cross-stitching folk art techniques of Shaanxi Province. Discreetly weaving her life story and subtle illusions in how reality is but an interpretation of the relationship between object and time, her art commonly appears as an obsession to a singular moment: hyper-real home décor capturing an iconic time and place, and thus embedding a narrative to that moment. Her creations have been acquired by White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney and presented at internationally significant events such as the Biennale of Sydney and the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art.
