Biography
Biography
This led to the preservation of historic buildings, including his birthplace, previously scheduled for demolition as people re-evaluated their importance. This inspired Lao to pursue his artistic work further. From 2010 to 2020, Lao was based in Hokkaido. His work during this time focused on the concept of "Engi" (縁起) or Dependent Co-arising. His artwork sought to capture the "interdependence of emptiness and reality" (虚実相生) in natural phenomena such as snow and fog. These works have since been exhibited around the world. Lao has been based in Kyoto since 2020. During the pandemic, he created site-specific works exploring the law of included middle (容中律) in places such as Pure Land Buddhist temple gardens. His installation works seek to dissolve the boundary between subject and object, re-exploring the relationship between human nature and the external world.
