Zi Qin

Zi Qin (b. 2000, Sydney, Australia) is a multidisciplinary Chinese-Australian artist based in Sydney. With living experiences in both China and Australia, social and cultural struggles as a misfit form the key inspiration to his practice. Evoked by the suffering of frustration, he captures the unspeakable relationship with others through drawing and painting, and explores the tension between humour and impatience of the new generation. If drawing was a way to understand his subconscious, then sculptural installation is his response to the past. By reconsidering the existences of daily objects, he recontextualises such materials into an image of urban loneliness.
