Gao Yuan

Gao Yuan was born in Taiwan and is a fine art photographer who explores cultural identity and the multi-layered arts of society using symbols and signs from ancient paintings, graffiti art, and even tattoos. Cultivated by her international background in Taiwan, Japan, China, and the U.S., Yuan's short films, videos, and still photography portray different cultural phenomena and express psychological and social meanings below visual appearance and aesthetic arrangement. In her recent " Twelve Moons" and " Graffiti " series, she well-blended the roots of Western and Eastern cultural elements and showed how cultural identity is shaped by the socio-political environment.

Gao Yuan's work has been exhibited widely in Europe, the roots of Western and Eastern cultural elements, and shows how cultural identity is shaped by the socio-political environment.
