Guan Huaibin has made pioneering contributions to the creation and research of contemporary art space within Chinese gardens aesthetics, directly or indirectly using garden elements in numerous of his works, perhaps related to his own life experience. Hailing from Jiangsu, Guan has always had memories of gardens as a creative source, and integrates the aesthetics of classical garden into the shape of the spatial arrangement of his immersive installation.
