Christopher Ge
Thank you for visiting my online portfolio. Here, you will find a collection of my work—paintings, videos, and installations—all shaped by my personal explorations of identity, displacement, and the transformative power of vulnerability. I invite you to step into the spaces I create, where each piece reflects our shared emotions.
I wrestle with the delicate balance of vulnerability, between permanence and impermanence—memory dissolving, identity shifting. My art is a confrontation with vulnerability, exploring diasporic belonging and the liminal spaces between homes. Whether tracing the fluidity of rivers or examining the fragility of landscapes under rapid change, my work insists on the tension between what we hold onto and what inevitably slips away.

“The Concrete Monolith”
This project explores the rapid urban transformation in China, catalyzed by the implementation of
reform and opening-up policies. These policies
have reshaped the nation’s economic, social, and
architectural landscapes, resulting in the swift
redevelopment of cities like Beijing and eventually
extending into smaller, lesser-known areas. Growing up in Jingmen, a five-line city in Hubei, China,
before moving to the UK in 2017, I have witnessed
firsthand the dramatic shifts in my hometown over
the past decade. Each time I return, I find that the
city continues to develop, erasing the landscapes
and memories I once held dear, leaving me feeling
disconnected.
Through this project, I will explore critical questions: What have we sacrificed for this rapid development? What cultural memories and personal
histories have been erased? While urban prosperity grows, it often comes at the cost of losing ancestral lands and familiar communities—places once
regarded as home, now replaced by financial gain
and modernization.
Using a range of mediums, I will challenge ideologies surrounding ownership, privacy, identity, and
the evolving definitions of home in the context of
urban transformation and diaspora
