Tong Wenmin
China
Born in Chongqing, Tong Wenmin received her BFA from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2012. Her works often focus on the intersection between individual perception and the external environment, stimulating visual poetry and inspiring action through behaviors that at first seem counter-intuitive. Through often simplified or regulated movements, her works hint at the allegorical characters of the body and action within a semantically rich context.
Tong has recent solo/duo shows at Yuan Art Museum (Chongqing), OCT Boxes Art Museum (Foshan), WHITE SPACE (Beijing), etc. She has received awards such as the Grand Jury Prize of Huayu Youth Award in 2018, and has also been selected for the Swiss Arts Council Artists Residency, Switzerland (2021) and other residencies.
