Watermelon Frost By Guonv Guo

This canvas work is composed of three sections, with the upper two connected by branches. In the lower section, set against an empty background, a large spider appears, evoking a sense of threat. The piece suggests that throughout the process of life and growth, moments of disorientation and temptation inevitably arise, while unseen dangers quietly linger within.

About the Artist

Guonv Guo was born in Yibin, Sichuan Province, in 2001. She is currently a master's student in the Oil Painting Department of Chengdu Fine Arts Institute and lives and creates in Chengdu. She focuses on the visualisation translation of private emotions, using repetitive brushstrokes as the language carrier of psychological defence mechanisms. By establishing a layered trace system on the canvas, she transforms the individual experience of traumatic memories into universal visual archives, attempting to explore the possibility of self-repair and mental reconstruction through the ritualistic repetition of the act of painting.
