Gao Xiaowu has always adhered to the view that "the present is the present" and practiced "mortal art" in his art. His works are often characterized by light humor, gentle and non-hostile, revealing metaphors and non-extreme rational thinking, expressing concern, criticism and reflection on society. His early representative works include "Standard Era", "City Dreams", "Our Generation", "Soft Violence", "In and Out", etc. His recent works, "Regeneration", "Common Ground", etc., focus on "everyday" phenomena and invite the public with an equal heart, "awakening the original nature with regeneration", "human beings and the environment", and "the natural environment". With an equal heart, he invites the public to "use regeneration to awaken the original nature" and "harmonize the coexistence of human and nature", and he tries to maximize the effectiveness of art in the society by making it more convenient for people.
