ZEXU WU
Zexu Wu (b. 1999) graduated from the China Academy of Art with a master’s degree in Figure Painting in 2023. He currently lives and works in Hangzhou.
His practice explores experiences of existence within contemporary urban spaces and algorithmic environments, focusing on alienation, mobility, absurdity, and uncertainty. Drawing from internet and social media images, surveillance footage, and art-historical imagery, he explores the relationships and shifts in meaning between different image systems through ink, acrylic, and color powder on xuan paper and silk.
