郑国谷的创作涵括多种媒介，横跨行为、摄影、绘画、雕塑、空间和建筑，而根本的驱动力不是来自媒材而是与生活进程密切相关的意念。从2005年开始的土地/空间项目（开始命名为“帝国时代”，现名为“了园”）融合了复杂的空间形态和社会关系，包容了一个空间从理想到实现以及在生活中持续的全部过程。而近年来从能量研究而展开的绘画系列创作中，郑国谷力图揭示潜伏在感知过程中的能量流动。
Born in 1970 in Yangjiang, Guangdong province, Zheng Guogu graduated from the printmaking department at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art in 1992. He lives and works in Yangjiang.
Zheng Guogu’s artistic practices utilize a wide range of media in order to express the extensive diversity of his ideas along with life process. The land/garden project (initiated from “The Age of Empire” in 2005 and it has evolved into “Liao Garden” since 2013) integrates even more complicated spatial modalities and social relations, which comprises the entire process of dwelling in a spatial location, from conceptual ideal to practical implementation to day-to-day living. In his recent painting series based on the research of life energy, Zheng Guogu tries to reveal the energy flow lurking in the process of perception, the vibration of color frequencies is closely related to the workings of human arteries and veins, as well as the operation of the universe. Furthermore, the vibration is the tempering of an existential insight. Zheng Guogu is also the founding member of Yangjiang Group, an art collective focusing on the experimental Chinese calligraphy, founded in 2002 in Yangjiang.
