Yanran Chen’s sculpture Fictional Self is on display at Booth S54

Yanran Chen’s artistic works possess a unique and diverse style. Her latest sculpture, Fictional Self, is showcased at the 11th edition of ART021, following an invitation by Douyin Art. The sculpture stands out with its fusion of metal materials and painted surfaces, capturing Chen’s creative style and distinctive craftsmanship. Drawing from a profound self-analysis, Chen conveys her deep thoughts and reflections on contemporary society by constructing an imaginative space centered around the human body. Through this artwork, she explores the impact of information overload and technological advancements on contemporary discourse, as well as delves into independent contemplation of binary oppositions such as body and mind, life and machine, conservatism and avant-garde.
