WHAT
The body and portraits have always held significant importance for the Chinese contemporary artist. Through her fragmented and depersonalised depictions of naked bodies, she challenges conventional notions of bodily beauty, prompting viewers to question their own understanding of intimacy through the painterly gaze. Her imaginative titles and the recognisable-yet-transformed bodies create a thought-provoking experience that blurs the boundaries between portraiture and poetic expression.

WHY
Drawing inspiration from friends, everyday objects, candid photographs, and classic themes, the artist meticulously refines her subjects through observation and perception. Her paintings evoke emotions, desires, and a sense of gloom, capturing dramatic moments and tension. With concealed brushstrokes and phantom colours, her artworks transport viewers to a mysterious realm, blurring the boundaries between recollection and creation.
