Liyuan Zhu

Liyuan Zhu (born in 2001) is currently living in Glasgow. Her current works are mainly in the form of painting, sculpture, installation, video and performance.

In Liyuan Zhu’s artistic journey, Liyuan embarks upon a relentless quest to dissolve the boundaries between the tangible and intangible, the visible and invisible, the known and unknown.

Drawing inspiration from the eclectic tapestry of contemporary existence, Liyuan navigates the ever-shifting landscapes of culture, technology, and identity. In doing so, Liyuan unravels the complexities of human experience and weaves them into the fabric of Liyuan’s creations. Each piece becomes a palimpsest of narratives, layered with fragments of memory, emotion, and aspiration.

Central to Liyuan’s practice is a profound exploration of the interconnectivity of all things. Liyuan rejects the notion of isolated entities, instead embracing the notion of a dynamic web of relations where everything is in constant flux. Through Liyuan’s work, Liyuan seeks to illuminate the threads that bind us together, transcending the boundaries of space, time, and perception.
