Chinese, b. 1980; lives and works in Beijing, China
A graduate of the China Academy of Fine Art in Hangzhou, Sun Xun combines meticulous craftsmanship with stylistic experimentation in his practice, integrating drawing, painting, animation, and installation. Through paintings, woodcuts, and traditional Chinese ink and charcoal drawings, his works mimic stop-motion animated films in their usage of realistic and fantastical iconography that references Chinese classics and dystopian tales.
