中國社會在文革以後的經濟發展和由此帶來的社會生活方式的轉型、變更，恰好與出生於70年代中後期吳海洲的成長經歷相伴隨。作為個體生命的存在，藝術家以他的敏銳感知帶我們進入一個極具個人特點的色彩和筆觸相交織的精神世界。無論是工業肖像的具體描述，還是對權利機器的旁觀，或是在具體與抽象之間的隱喻，都給了我們一種欲語還休的“曖昧”氣息。這種氣息始終貫穿於吳海洲這幾年的藝術實踐之中。
吳海洲畢業於中央美術學院，2009年受邀在德國舉辦個人展覽“Here and There”；2010年在北京舉辦首次大型個展“公園•佚事”。此次展覽是吳海洲在香港的第一次個人展覽，展覽以“麻醉的橡皮筋”為題，旨在保持藝術家獨立思考精神之余又頗為耐人尋味。

China’s economic development after the Cultural Revolution and the resulting transformation of society coincided with the upbringing of Wu Haizhou, who was born in the late 1970s. The artist draws us into a spiritual world of his own perception where color and brushwork and strong personalities are intertwined. His realistic depictions of industrial portraits, observations of the power machine, and metaphors that lie between concreteness and abstraction give us a sense of ambiguous hesitation and reticence. This sense runs consistently through all of Wu Haizhou’s work of recent years.
Wu Haizhou graduated from China Central Academy of Fine Arts. He was invited to hold a solo exhibition, “Here and There”, in Germany in 2009, and his first large-scale solo exhibition, “The Public Unknown”, was held in Beijing in 2010. This exhibition is Wu Haizhou’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, titled “Hallucinatory Authenticity”, Wu Haizhou continues to show viewers his unique interpretation of the world.
