About

Yuening Jenny Jian is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher from Guangzhou, China. Jian’s creative practice explores the interplay between capital, imagery, and humanity. She responds to social-cultural phenomena with cross-media experimentation, including textiles, painting, drawing, and installation. Jian’s works investigate the nuances between fictional and real, past and future, as well as utopia and dystopia. Her research employs an interdisciplinary, practice-based approach. Focusing on inclusivity, humanity, and care, it interrogates the notion of binary opposition and investigates artwork’s ability to record tactile memory, embody human labour, and present untold stories. By bringing attention to tactility, serendipity, and fluidity, Jian’s works provide a site for conversation, reflection, and reimagination.
