Bobby Zhaocheng
Xiong

Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong (1998 b.China) is a multidisciplinary artist studying at Goldsmiths, University of London. His works loom from his passion for superstition, religion, and nature, and is expressed through installation, performance and graphics. His own emotional estrangement manifests in oxymorons: the works are both blissful and rigid, packed with metaphors that open a speculative space for thoughts on humanity and the social reality. There is a superposition of technique and spirituality, of rationality and emotions, and of the virtual realm and the real world. His works concentrate on the expression of content rather than the construction of a strong exterior. He is an alumnus of Donghua University in Shanghai and the Royal College of Art in London and has works shown in the exhibitions V&A Museum Digital Design Weekend, Creative Machine 2022 and shortlisted for the Lumen Prize.
