高磊一直通过创作摄影、绘画、装置等综合性媒介作品持续探讨权力对社会外部环境和个体内部思维的塑造与腐蚀，以及由此引发的对于非人类中心主义的设想与建构等诸多问题。他采用多种方式将现成物品与其绘画、摄影和装置进行并置使其脱离日常惯性，令观者以某种被动的观看方式来完成作品的现场展示。其作品自身所带有的野性经过封闭式的呈现而受到隔离与抑制，然而这种阻力却使野性转化成某种暴力。如高磊自己所说：“观众喜欢看到马戏团被驯化的猛兽，也愿意看到被创作者驯服的作品，但我却要在作品与观者之间搭建一座牢笼”。
高磊近两年的作品经常呈现出同一原始观念经过不同时间和媒介的表达后所产生的差异与关联，对这些差异与关联的思考又构成了近期创作的语法。而这种语法的运用，亦揭示了作者的某种企图，既对可见的社会日常惯性和不可见的世界封闭系统进行循环而多重的破坏与颠覆。
By creating mixed media artworks integrated with paintings, photography and installation, Gao Lei continues to approach the subjects about how individual mode of thinking characterized and external environment of society shaped by the power system, and the consideration and construction of many issues like Non-anthropocentrism and so on. He sets the ready-mades away from their daily properties in various ways to be concatenation with painting, photography and installation, and then audiences will watch the artworks by being thrown into passivity to complete his show, and the wildness in his artworks is constrained and isolated by the way of enclosing to develop into violence. As Gao Lei told: People like watching the animals being domesticated in circus, and also enjoy the artworks in an open and cultivated way, but I prefer setting up a cage between my work and the viewer.
Gao Lei's work tells the differences and association of same original concept expressed through the diversity of time and media. This differences and association constitutes a special syntax which reveals the attempt of keeping the visible social reality and the invisible world system destructed and undermined multiply.
