Bing-Chi Wu (b.1992) was born in Taipei,
Taiwan. Her studies included Fine Arts with a Bachelor's degree at the Chinese
Culture University in Taipei, Taiwan, and Graphic Design with a Master's degree
at the University for the Creative Arts in Epsom, UK. She mainly works with
drawing, painting, photography, screen-printing, digital and physical collage,
and installation.
Her themes often derive from self-awareness within globalisation and neoliberalism, exploring cultural similarities and differences, international mobility, political geography, questioning existence, etc. In her recent featured projects, she combines landscape or documentation and Origami through photography and collage, involving the interaction of representation and symbolism. She believes photography is a poetic means to freeze time, 'folding' is a creative channel to interact with and transform time, and collage could be a method to make time in series. She uses digital collage to merge photography and Origami images and adopts inject-printing to enclose these ideas into a work.
Bing-Chi has successfully obtained government
and institutional support. Her artworks were collected by the Taiwan Art Bank,
affiliated with the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, in 2015 and 2018. She has
also been successful in receiving grants to develop work for exhibitions in
2019 and artistic practice in 2020, 2023, and 2024 from the Taipei City
Government–Department of Cultural Affairs. Bing-Chi currently undertakes
practice-based research in art at the Manchester Metropolitan University in
Manchester, UK.
