Gan Jian, currently based in Beijing, centers his work around the multidimensional sensory construction of optics, soundscapes, digital media, and industrial materials. By pushing the limits of form, technical intensity, and material characteristics, he stimulates the viewer to explore the deep relationship between space, objects, and self-perception.
These works often demonstrate precise control over light and space, the intensification or transcendence of material entities, and highly abstract modern industrial and geometric forms. By reducing form to its most intense minimum, the extreme sensory construction endows space and objects with an existence beyond the physical, creating a multi-reflective field that occurs simultaneously on both external and psychological levels. The viewer is almost inevitably drawn into the work, experiencing a reciprocal gaze between themselves, the space, and the objects.
甘健,现居北京,他的一系列创作以光学、声场、数字媒介与工业材料的多维感官建构为核心,通过将形式、技术力度与材料特性推向极限,以引发观者对空间、对象与自我感知间深层关系的探索。
这些作品往往呈现出对光与空间的精准操控、对物质实体的强化或抽离,以及高度抽象的现代工业与几何形态,通过将形式削减至一个极具强度的最低限度,极限的感官建构赋予空间与对象超越物理的存在,创造出一个从外部及心理层面同时发生的多重反射场域,观者几乎无可回避地被纳入到作品当中,以感受与空间、对象间互为主体的凝视。
