Xinghao Liang’s practice originates from painting and extends into installation, moving image, and spatial interventions. Rather than treating painting as an isolated object, he approaches it as a method for thinking through space — a way to construct, fragment, and reorganise environments.

His work often begins with specific architectural or situational contexts. Through layered images, subtle objects, light, and spatial displacement, Liang creates environments that oscillate between familiarity and disorientation. These constructed spaces function as sites where perception becomes unstable, allowing latent narratives and embodied experiences to surface.

Liang is particularly interested in the tension between the corporeal, the historical, and the mechanical. By introducing internal contradictions within his works — between surface and structure, stillness and movement, image and space — he seeks to produce experiences that resist fixed interpretation. The works do not aim to illustrate narratives but to stage conditions in which meaning remains provisional and open-ended.

梁星昊的创作实践起源于绘画,并延伸至装置、影像与空间介入。

他并不将绘画视为一个孤立的物件,而是把它作为一种思考空间的方法—一种用于建构、拆解并重新组织环境的方式。

他的作品往往从具体的建筑或情境出发,通过层叠的图像、微妙的物件、光线与空间位移,构建出介于熟悉与失序之间的环境。这些被建构的空间成为感知发生动摇的场所,使潜在的叙事与身体性的经验得以浮现。

梁星昊尤为关注身体、历史与机械性之间的张力。他通过在作品内部引入矛盾关系——例如表面与结构、静止与运动、图像与空间之间的冲突——来制造一种拒绝被固定解读的体验。作品并不意在阐释明确的叙事,而是搭建一种条件,使意义始终保持在生成之中,处于开放而未定的状态。

Xinghao Liang (born 1999 in Beihai, China) is an artist curently living and working in London. He is 1/2 founders of the experimental art project ‘The Afterpiece’.
