Han Bing
Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)
I work across photography, painting and drawing, using digital and traditional mediums, as well as installation. My practice explores the relationship between image and language, and the role of body motion in the context of image-making.
I randomly choose motifs for digital drawings from ancient Chinese dictionary entries to explore the gap between ancient and contemporary language, image and text. In my drawings on paper, I use cartographical symbols, scientific illustrations and comics to create virtual realms in which the territory of knowledge is obscured. The gestural marks in digital and physical mediums question the authenticity of mark-making.
