Tianyue Zhong(b.1994) was born in Chengdu, China, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Her paintings and line drawings are based on expressing the uncontrollable aspects of life. Zhong constructs her paintings by drawing from two distinct visual sources: historical photographs unearthed through research, and her own photographic documentation from field trips. These sources provide the foundation for her exploration of unchoreographed reality, expressed through a combination of rapid brushstrokes and vivid color application."Fear" holds significant meaning in her life and creative process, driving her to resist "correction" in her work and motivating her to repeatedly depict the same themes. Consequently, the figures, shapes, and scenes in her works are intuitively charged, as if drawn from her consciousness and seamlessly transferred onto the canvas. Zhong received an MA in painting from Royal College of Art in 2020 and a BA in Fine Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2018.
