STEPHEN GLEADOW

Stephen Gleadow is an American artist currently living and working in Beijing, China. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and film. Gleadow’s work frequently unfolds against a backdrop of scientific, historical, and spiritual inquiry, engaging processes of material experimentation and the reconfiguration of found objects and cultural remnants.

While maintaining a strong dialogue with the broader language of abstraction, Gleadow’s recent work increasingly reflects the material environment and lived experiences of his studio practice in China. In his practice, discarded materials, archival traces, and everyday artifacts are reorganized into new spatial and conceptual relationships. In addition to his studio practice, Gleadow remains active within Beijing’s contemporary art community, periodically contributing as an independent curator and creative director on various art and design projects. 

 

**史蒂芬·格利多(Stephen Gleadow)**是一位美国艺术家,现生活并工作于中国北京。他的跨媒介创作实践涵盖绘画、雕塑、装置、摄影以及影像等多种形式。格利多的作品常在科学、历史与精神性思考的背景下展开,通过对材料的持续实验以及对现成物与文化遗存的重新组合,探索物质、记忆与信息之间的潜在关联。

在与抽象艺术语言保持持续对话的同时,格利多近年来的创作亦逐渐回应其在中国的工作环境与生活经验。在他的实践中,被遗弃的材料、档案痕迹与日常物件被重新组织,形成新的空间关系与观念结构。除个人创作之外,格利多亦长期活跃于北京的当代艺术生态之中,并不定期以独立策展人及创意总监的身份参与多项艺术与设计项目。
