Haocheng Zhao is an artist whose creative journey began with painting and gradually expanded into the vast realm of multimedia.
Haocheng Zhao’s works mainly focus on the absurdity of the world, exploring core themes such as social boundaries and individual freedom. He uses everyday objects that people tend to ignore as creative objects to create works with uncanny characteristics and use humour to explain absurdity. For Haocheng Zhao , absurdity is a new order.
