ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is one of my recent paintings that blur the categories of figuration and abstraction. Within this group of paintings, I utilize themes of pattern, space, and light in relation to the human body to discuss and critique the constructions of systems of belief. Looking closer at this piece, each pattern of this painting could be read as two people hugging each other or one person crossing hands in front of his body. The accumulation of this pattern addresses the ambiguity of individual and collective. As an artist grows up in both China and America, conflicts between individualism and collectivism have always been around in my life. But, deep down in my heart, I believe in the possibility of maintaining the balance of individual and collective. In this painting, I am addressing my feelings of being oppressed by the conflicts between individualism and collectivism while looking for a place that could maintain the harmony of both.

I am a Chinese artist who currently works in Chicago, US. I received my BFA in 2013 from Boston University and my MFA in painting and drawing in 2021 from School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My paintings blur the categories of figuration and abstraction. Within them, I utilize themes of pattern, space, and light in relation to the human body to discuss and critique the constructions of systems of belief. Being an artist with a multi-cultural background, I have insight into the many ways people have used and abused culture and history to create barriers and divisions within the broader spectrum of humanity. Within my paintings, I address the feelings of being oppressed by those barriers and divisions while looking for places that could transcend both culture and history. I have shown at the Sloan House in Boston, Guayaba Gallery in Union City, Visionary Project in New York, Research House of Asian Art and FLXST Contemporary Art Gallery in Chicago, etc.
