Mandy Zhang Art Gallery is excited to announce the ”No Break in Summer“ residency program, targeting Asian artists based in the London area.
This four-week residency offers artists the freedom to use our gallery space for artistic creation. Following the residency, artists will have their works showcased in an online exhibition on our website. This opportunity is designed to support artists who are eager to explore new ideas and develop their practice in a dynamic and supportive environment.
Alina R.J is a London-based multidisciplinary artist, who is intertwining discourse around social, cultural, psychological, philosophical and metaphysical concepts to explore contemporary issues through a prism of ancient knowledge, seeking to uncover timeless truths. She works across different mediums, including painting, sculpture, performance, sound and writing, communicating her ideas through symbolism and metaphors.
Kelly Wu is a queer Chinese-British artist who was born in Chelmsford, Essex. She has lived in Clacton-on-Sea, Braintree, Colchester, and Paris, France, but today she lives and works in London.
Her practice combines sculpture, performance, and installation. She fixates on objects: the small, the found, the stolen, and the gifted, and with them she thinks about her past and her parents, arranging her misfortunes in neat order. She gives in to her sorrow and traverses the ether between head and heart, near and far. Her work engages themes of family, memory, theft, yearning, love, catharsis, ephemerality, etc.
