GOES

GOES (b. 1990), lives and works in Chengdu. He graduated from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. In 2022, an accident at a music festival caused irreversible tinnitus, marking a turning point in his practice: his artistic language shifted from the high-contrast, sharp-edged energy of early graffiti to a more restrained, softer, meditative visual system. His work centers on the "transient emotions of memory," with irregular colored circles recurring as a signature visual grammar—recoloring memories faded by time. The original feelings transcend time and continue to shape who we are in the present. 

In 2015, GOES joined ABS CREW, one of Asia's top graffiti crews. He has represented China in youth art exchange programs in Italy, Croatia, Germany, and Japan, and has collaborated with international brands including CASIO, PUMA, and NIKE, serving as creative director on multiple occasions.
