Guo Xiaoyan

In recent years, I have been researching on the casting glassware, and trying to combine material beauty of glass art and Chinese subtle beauty in traditional culture. Circle Series is the representative works at this period. The works show the transparent, opaque and translucent qualities of glass by the multi-layer structure of the cyclic permutations and combinations. 
The form creates the sense of aesthetic mood of traditional and contemporary. It shows the sense of order, and displays the subtle changes and beauty of the Chinese culture in color.
