Sampling from flora and fauna, Chen creates surreal hybrids signifying transmutations of life energy, reflecting the sublime. Recreating upon nature, she hopes to capture the underlying wisdom of the earth, unconcerned of the rational human mind. Chen also sees her work as metaphors for the human psyche. The ferocity of beasts and delicacy of flowers represent the struggle between aggression and sensitivity in the mind.<\/p>\n<p>Her recent solo exhibitions and projects include: \u201cUnearthed\u201d, Danuser &amp; Rami\u0301rez, London, 2022; \u201cMetaforce Against Cowardice\u201d, Plate Space, Beijing, 2019; Group exhibitions include: \u201cSecond River\u201d, Five Years, London, 2023; \u201cFirst Edition\u201d, Collective Ending, London, 2023; \u201cMoonlit Beings\u201d, Soka Art, Beijing, 2023; \u201cForgetmenots\u201d, the Split Gallery, London, 2023; \u201cLUCKY NUMBER 8\u201d, The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, London. 2023; \u201cOutlanders: Dreams of A New Moon\u201d, Christie\u2019s, London, 2023; \u201cTHE BODY OF NON-BODY\u201d, BROWNIE Project, Shanghai. 2022; \u201cVolatile Milieu: Collective Healing\u201d, Crypt Gallery, London, 2022; \u201cBack to Life\u201d, St. Saviour\u2019s Church, London, 2022; \u201cTraces\u201d, group show, Cook House, London, 2021; \u201cSpoiler (Purpose)\u201d, PADA Studios, Lisbon, 2021; \u201cWhen Mythology Jumps into Economy: a Big Splash of Ecology\u201d, postpost, Beijing, 2020.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[],"artists_categories":[6],"class_list":["post-444","artists","type-artists","status-publish","hentry","artists_categories-collaborating-artists"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artists"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444"},{"taxonomy":"artists_categories","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.madeingallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists_categories?post=444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
