FENG MENGBO
joins
Rén Space & Miralab
We are delighted to announce exclusive worldwide representation of Feng Mengbo.
Recognized as the pioneer in video game art and a New Media artist, Feng Mengbo draws heavily from China’s modern cultural and social context, as well as his own personal history, often combining the narrative with his vision of digital and video games realms. For the last three decades, Feng Mengbo has been exploring rapidly evolving frontier of new digital media with a deep interest in the virtual world and their effects on individuals decades before the terms such as metaverse, NFT, and digital art became household terms.
Rén Space and Miralab have been fierce advocates and supporters of an innovative and boundary-breaking approach to artistic expressions and have collaborated with artists such as Yu Youhan, Zhang Peili, Geng Jianyi, Yang Zhenzhong, Chen Yujun and Li Binyuan.
We look forward to embarking on a thought provoking journey and adventure with Feng Mengbo into the digital realm of metaverse along with new works in sculptures, paintings, VR and AR works.
