1991年生于中国山东,目前生活和工作于美国。她是一位当代艺术家,其创作致力于探索塑造现代生活的隐形结构——从海底通信系统、数据流动到宇宙观测与记忆体系。她的作品在宏观与微观尺度之间,构建出一种连接结构与情感的视觉语言,强调“连接”与“连续性”这一贯穿人类共同经验的核心主题。棠沐将传统油画与显微镜、卫星图像等科学可视化技术巧妙结合,游走于技术史与个人经验的交界地带。她将技术视为身体的延伸与记忆的外化,其创作融合胚胎、神经元、逻辑电路、量子计算机、太阳能农场、数据节点与星体等多重意象,在可见与不可见、触觉与抽象、系统与情感之间构建出多层次的视觉结构。
棠沐2015年毕业于纽约阿尔弗雷德大学扩展媒体系,获艺术学士学位,2011年结业于中央美术学院附中。她的作品已在国际范围内展出,曾于Peres Projects(柏林和米兰,2022年)举办个展,并将于2025年在维也纳的BEK (Büro für experimentelle Kunst) 举办个展。群展经历包括:纽约Penske Projects (2024);Winter Street Gallery,Martha’s Vineyard (2024年);纽约YveYANG(2023年);漳州博物馆(2017年);重庆长江当代美术馆(2017年);以及纽约International Print Center(2015年)。她的作品曾获得国际媒体如Artnet News、Mousse Magazine等的专题报道与评论,持续关注其在科技、记忆与视觉抽象领域的探索。她的作品现藏于欧洲、北美及亚洲多地的私人与公共艺术收藏中。
Born in Shandong, China in 1991, currently lives and works in the United States. She is a contemporary artist whose practice investigates the invisible structures that shape modern life, ranging from submarine communication systems and data flows to cosmic observation and memory systems. Her work constructs a visual language that bridges structure and emotion across both macro and micro scales, emphasizing the themes of connection and continuity that underscore our shared human experience. Combining traditional oil painting with tools of expanded vision—including microscopes, satellite imagery, and scientific visualization—Tan Mu navigates the liminal space between technological history and personal experience. She views technology as both an extension of the body and an externalization of memory, creating compositions that interweave embryos, neurons, logic circuits, quantum computers, solar farms, data nodes, and celestial bodies. Through this layered imagery, she builds visual bridges between the visible and the invisible, the tactile and the abstract, the systemic and the affective.
Tan Mu holds a BFA in Expanded Media from Alfred University, New York (2015), and graduated from the High School of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (2011). Her work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Peres Projects (Berlin and Milan, 2022), and an upcoming solo at BEK (Büro für experimentelle Kunst) in Vienna (2025). She has participated in group shows at Penske Projects, New York; Winter Street Gallery, Martha’s Vineyard (2024); YveYANG, New York (2023); Zhangzhou Museum (2017); and the Chongqing Museum of Contemporary Art (2017); International Print Centre, New York (2015). Her work has been featured and critically reviewed internationally, engaging themes of technology, memory, and visual abstraction across platforms such as Artnet News, Mousse Magazine, and others. Her paintings are part of private and institutional collections internationally. TAN Mu currently lives and works in the US.
