看高增礼的画就好像在探视着他的记忆中的片段，和在看悬挂于他的内心的幻觉；他的作品似在画历史人物如溥仪与毛泽东等，但实质上这些人物只是他的艺术创作的符号而已。
高增礼于一九六四年生于甘肃兰州，毕业于山东工艺美术学院及巴黎国立美术学院。近年间，他工作及生活于巴黎与北京两地，就是因为要身处及适应两处不同的环境，使他越来越注重作为中国人的身份和中国文化及清楚地认识到中国文化与传统的深厚力量，促使他更了解自我的构成。
他表示喜欢从历史的角度去思考艺术，因他的画中人物都是立体的，例如溥仪这个重要历史人物，有着千丝万缕的背景资料，在他的画中这位未代皇帝被符号化了。高增礼尝试用他的作品打开踏进中国近代史的大门。
高增礼说：“我喜欢黑暗的氛围，用黑色和灰色进行阐释，黑白色彩的搭配折射出历史的追忆，因为我希望在黑暗中寻找阳光。” 他把自己悬于艺术创作的边缘境界中，认为艺术创作如果完全投进了现时的主流趋势，则会丧失其纯粹性和独立性；他认为游走于边缘是一种危险的选择，但却使艺术成为艺术；因此，他情愿选择留在 “灰色地带” ，让自己处身于悬幻时空间。

The paintings of Gao Zengli are fragments of his memories reconstructed. They are illusory imageries suspended in his mind. What, visually, appear like portraits of some famous personalities such as the last Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Pu-yi, and Chairman Mao are, in fact, mere symbols employed by Gao for his artistic expression.
Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province in 1964, Gao finished his art training in the Shandong Academy of Fine Art and later in the National Academy of fine Art in Paris, France. In recent years, he splits his time working between Paris and Beijing. The dissimilarity of the life-style of these two cities has coerced him to put in proper prospective the question of identity as well as deepening his appreciation of the Chinese culture.
Gao loves to deploy his art from a historical standpoint, as the figures whom he has used in his works usually bring with them specific values, experiences, sentiments as well as contrasting feelings. Using characters such as Pu-yi, Mao and Deng Xiaoping as his symbols, Gao hopes to tap into the reservoir of emotions embedded in the modern history of China.
“I like the environs of darkness and express myself in black and grey colours. The grey scale between black and white is useful in reflecting memories of the past as I strive to discover sunshine amidst darkness,” he commented.
Art Beatus Gallery is located on the ground floor of 35-39 Graham Street, Central, near the junction with Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace (SOHO Area).
