Working with painting and sculpture, Mengxi Zhang’s multilayered practice surveys the porous state of becoming, using experimental processes to explore issues surrounding identity, the instability of bodies, and the modalities of existence.
Her process of making is informed by the learning and unlearning, building and excavation of real life processes and experiences. Through vibrant colours, forms and materials, interlinked with cells, body parts and sensory perceptions, Zhang has developed a dynamic and playful visual language, open to impulse and new possibilities. Sitting on the tensions of structure and chaos, her work aims to break the hierarchies of the known over the unknown, the voluntary over the involuntary.
