Wenhui Hao
Wenhui Hao (born in 2000) is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Arts and Humanities at the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom. Her primary artistic medium is painting. In her creative process, the artist combines subjective emotions with social and political concerns, focusing on the fragility, sensitivity, and spirituality of humanity.
Wenhui's work and research are centered around reconstructing personal narrative practices. The artist addresses themes such as female desire, women's diseases, sexual violence, bodily trauma, and medical pathology. She is committed to critiquing issues related to sex and power, as well as conducting research on materiality in painting.
Wenhui sees the process of painting as akin to the practice of suturing and repairing in medical pathology. She depicts dismantled and hollowed-out food subjected to violence in her paintings. Additionally, her works feature wounds covered with ulcers and alienated bodily trunks. The imagery of the body undergoes repeated deconstruction within abstract and layered brushstrokes, cascading into imbalance and descent amid the unpredictable flow of liquids.
