Zhu

Ruiyao Zhu is a multidisciplinary artist who works through printmaking, drawing, illustration, painting and sculpture. She is interested in the subconscious, dreamland and psychology, Dreams are often defined as undisguised and easily recognisable. But under this circumstance, she wants to emphasise that dreams are not meaningless and illogical. 

Her practice explores the relationship between consciousness and subconsciousness, looking into the boundaries of two completely different worlds from the perspective of psychology, exploring a visual language to create a diverse understanding of the inner world, Combining the anxieties, and fears that arise from dramatic changes in contemporary society, returning to the essentials of being human. She combined prints to extend her practical research based on personal experiences and social phenomena presenting narratives from mystery, grotesque, bizarre, unreal, and unexpected combinations.
