SU CHANG 苏畅

Introduction

Su Chang (b. 1985) was born and raised in Shanghai. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Shanghai Normal University in 2007. Su Chang employs sculpture as a means of artistic experimentation, emphasizing a reevaluation of the intrinsic nature of the medium throughout his ongoing work. He aims to digest and create a new visual language based on ordinary elements. Through his artworks, Su Chang examines the fluctuation of individuals within the intersection of public and personal anxieties, as well as the psychological imprints left by such ambiguous behaviors.
