Gao Rong and Ding Hui are a husband and wife artist duo based in China. Known for their collaborative practice, they explore the artificiality of everyday life through material transformation and poetic visual language.
Their artistic approach reimagines daily objects by manipulating elements such as packaging, folding, sponges, and fabric merging geometric structure with organic softness. By incorporating traditional hand stitching techniques, they emphasize the labor of human craft and the evolution of thought, constructing works that exist at the intersection of the personal and the collective.Their materials are often stripped of their functional purposes, allowing for new narratives that challenge the boundaries between utility and emotion, fiction and reality.
Their recent collaborative works were presented in Self-Induced, a duo exhibition at REDBASE Art, Sydney (2024).
Gao Rong and Ding Hui have participated in numerous exhibitions including at Redbase Foundation Indonesia, Asia Art Center in Taipei, and elsewhere in China, Australia, and Germany.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
