Hou Jianan is a Chinese contemporary artist. He was born in Jilin, China in 1992 and received both his bachelor's and master's degree from the Oil Painting Department at Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. The main context of his work is the fictional visual story in a “deserted paradise". Centering on the Spectacle Society proposed by Guy Debord, the work uses distorted natural scenes to form eye-catching and absurd narrative scenes within the frame, showing the collisional experiences of mass consumption and entertainment. By this, he focuses on presenting the young generation's observation and thinking on modern society and mass culture. Hou Jianan is exclusively represented by ArtDepot.
