陈小果，1990年出生于湖北钟祥，本科毕业于湖北美术学院雕塑系，硕士毕业于中央美术学院实验艺术学院。

雕塑与实验艺术的训练，使他陈小果对尺度、空间及材料之间的关系保持敏锐感知。他将绘画视为一种在观看中展开的行动。他从日常生活的视觉碎片出发，却不止于揭示媒体逻辑与图像生产者之间的共谋机制；其作品通过重新拣选、截取和转译图像，松动固有观念赋予图像的身份、等级与意义。

于他而言，在肖像与风景之间，崇高与平庸不再构成价值的界限。明亮而暧昧的色彩使形象向目光敞开，同时拒绝被迅速占有，让每个对象在共同形式中显露不可替代的差异。陈小果试图构建的，是一部没有固定边界的人类图集。绘画在此既是对既有图像秩序的反刍，也是重新分配观看权力的方式：它不替生命规定意义，而让不同的面孔、经验与处境获得平等显现的可能。

Chen Xiaoguo (b. 1990, Zhongxiang, Hubei Province) received his bachelor’s degree from the Sculpture Department of Hubei Institute of Fine Arts and his master’s degree from the School of Experimental Art at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. 

Chen's training in sculpture and experimental art has shaped a heightened sensitivity to scale, space, and the relationships between materials. He regards painting as an action that unfolds through the act of looking. Beginning with fragments of everyday visual culture, his practice does more than expose the complicity between media logics and image producers. By selecting, cropping, and translating images, he unsettles the identities, hierarchies, and meanings imposed upon them by established modes of perception. 

For Chen, across portraiture and landscape, the elevated and the ordinary no longer constitute opposing orders of value. Bright yet ambiguous hues open the image to the gaze while resisting immediate possession, allowing each subject to reveal its irreducible difference within a shared formal field. Chen seeks to construct a human atlas without fixed boundaries. Painting becomes both a rumination on the existing image regime and a means of redistributing the power of looking: rather than prescribing meaning for life, it allows different faces, experiences, and conditions to appear on equal visual terms.
