Zigsen Liu

Zigsen Liu’s work leaves us with a meditation on the balance between form and formlessness, creation and collapse, certainty and ambiguity. In a world increasingly defined by technological mediation and the dissolution of traditional boundaries, Liu’s art invites us to explore the spaces where form and meaning are both constructed and deconstructed, where the known gives way to the unknown, and where new realities emerge through the act of creation.

Zigsen Liu was born in 1992 in Anqing, China and lives and works in Hangzhou and Shanghai. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the Sculpture Department of China Academy of Art in 2010.
