Né en 1971 à Wuhan, Hubei en Chine, He An vit et travaille à Pékin. Ses sculptures lumineuses sont composées de caractères dérobés aux enseignes de sa ville natale, Wuhan, avec la complicité de la mafia locale. Il utilise ces idéogrammes souvent abîmés pour former les noms de personnes qui lui sont chères. Le travail de l’artiste, à la fois autobiographique et obsessionnel – entre illégalité et investigation – explore les interdits et les tabous de la culture chinoise contemporaine.
