1998年出生于中国辽宁,2003年随家人移居湖北武汉。2020年毕业于英国中央圣马丁艺术与设计学院,获得学士学位,并于2023年在英国皇家艺术学院获得硕士学位。目前生活和工作于伦敦与香港。

张铭轩的艺术实践围绕着身体的流动性和去象征化,通过扭曲和缺失来审视身体、空间和凝视之间的关系。她巧妙地将现实世界中的现成织物融入绘画,捕捉“虚”与“实”的转换。运用实在的物质去覆盖、包裹“虚体”的绘画,成为她对现实世界中肉体处境的思考。在她的大部分作品中,画布被转变成框架或容器,对画面中的主体施加外力的挤压,通过此种手法重新评估并反复探讨社会对身体概念的定义,以及肉体图像所可能携带的暗示与内涵。张铭轩对东方与西方对身体/空间理解上的差异也充满兴趣。她通过作品表达矛盾与对立,包裹与融合,将其视为对多重文化背景下生活经历的独特诠释和探索。

 

Born in 1998 in Liaoning, China, moved to Wuhan, Hubei, in 2003 with her family. She graduated from Central Saint Martins in the UK with a Bachelor’s degree in 2020 and a Master’s from the Royal College of Art in 2023. She currently lives and works between London and Hong Kong. 

Zhang’s artistic practice centres around the fluidity and desymbolisation of the body, examining the relationship between the body, space and gaze through contortion and absence. Adroitly incorporating real, ready-made textiles into paintings, she captures the transition between the ‘illusion’ and the ‘real’. The application of tangible matter to cover and encase the ‘virtual body’ in her paintings has become her reflection on the situation of the body in reality. In most of her works, the canvas is transformed into a frame or vessel, imposing a forceful compression on the subject in the image, through which she reassesses and iteratively explores the societal definition of the concept of the body and the possible implication and connotation that the image of the body. Zhang Mingxuan is also fascinated by the differences in the understanding of body/space between Eastern and Western contexts. Through her works, she addresses conflict and confrontation, encapsulation and synthesis as unique interpretations and explorations of her experience in a multicultural context.
