Artist of the Day, May 21, 2025: Zhu Tian, a Chinese-born UK artist, sculptor (#2284)

Zhu Tian (1987) a Chinese-born, London-based, Royal College graduate, won the 2015 Catlin Art Prize, which rewards emerging talents who have been out of art school for a year. A multi-disciplinary artist who subverts the every day and undermines the expected. She questions prevailing notions of power relations and asserts the identity of the individual, adroitly turning corporate or misogynist strategies back upon themselves in order to critique them. Moving effortlessly from object intervention to digital to performance to set piece installation, Zhu presents complex and engaging work that is challenging, layered and courageous.
