Lexiao Guan
Visual artist, Graphic designer
and Kung-fu player.
Served clients including:
Huawei, China Design Centre,
Alexander Mcqueen etc.
Nominated by the British magazine
Talter as the top 100 emerging
talents in China and top 400
over Asia.
As a digital native, my work is trying to reinvent the past. By doing
so, the future is nourished and informed. From this point, I am not
telling one but many. I do not resonate with one but many. I want to
provide a way of expression which is open for participation. It is
more like a bed for dreaming, to more possibilities, to the desire of
being alive.

Every object that exists is subject to both unconscious and conscious processes no matter how invisible this is. Each object collects for itself a narrative based upon its own drama of becoming. Thus objects can be said to have volition that opens out either choice or attraction.
Each choice is a mark of difference that leads to the opening of the space of new outcomes. Space and time form a continuous fabric or medium of this process. This represents both attunement and growth that manifests as loops of becoming.
A realisation might dawn from this condition, namely that one evolves out of a complex web of choosing and been chosen. At times such a difference might be illusory because such difference is born out of dualism.
The world is made out of one common substance. Attraction, repulsion, attunement, subtraction are all mediums for having a sense of the world. Presence is merely a gift from presence but is without location because it is immeasurable.
Immeasurability is just another word for love. That is why love pervades.

Compassion ≈
You know how hard it was,
but you still hold on your patience and acceptance
I shall give you a kiss my love
You deserve my cuddle

I want to take you to an adventure
In a space without direction
Where every second is a miracle
Because both of us can be infinitely big
and infinitely small

It’s fake, can you see?
Everything is in between

Of course, need them all
in between
Otherwise, where is the space for dancing?

If you have never tried
With logic maybe right?
I don’t think so my love
I will give you my strawberry
and that’s it
So as with love
To eat or not to eat
is all about trust

How further I can push that
Definition?
By giving you life?
Or giving you multiple lives.
By allowing,
Allowing you to experience
Things
With senses
And understanding

From inside to outside?
Who is more capable
Than yourself to make that happen?
Are you counting on someone else?
Then you probably wrong
Because real understanding only happens
when you understand yourself.
It’s never about others.

Look Up 看上
which by how for who at when.
When the choice has been made
for a subtle split of possibility by
realizing why one instead of which.
And, where is where?
Nonsuch.
