About the artist
Tong Wenmin’s work often focuses on the intersection between individual perception and the external environment, stimulating visual poetry and inspiring action through behaviors that at first seem counter-intuitive. Through often simplified or regulated movements, her work hints at the allegorical character of the body and action within a semantically rich context. Tong received her BFA at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2012. Her recent solo / duo shows were held at He Art Museum, Foshan; HOW Art Museum, Shanghai; Macalline Art Center, Beijing; Essence Contemporary Art Museum, Chongqing; OCT Boxes Art Museum, Foshan; WHITE SPACE, Beijing, among others. Tong currently works and lives in Chongqing.
