Meet Bi Rongrong

on

Bi Rongrong (毕蓉蓉) is from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. She is currently based in Shanghai. This collection comprises 25 paper works, never before shown together. These pieces reflect her artistic journey between 2008 and 2016.

In 2005, Bi Rongrong received a bachelor’s degree in Chinese Traditional Painting from Southwest Normal University in Chongqing. Afterwards, she continued her studies in the Chinese Landscape Painting Department at Sichuan University and obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2008. In 2010, She received her MFA from the Frank Mohr Institute, Groningen, The Netherlands.

In her current practice, Bi Rongrong makes drawings, murals and site-specific installations. She often starts with drawings to present her perception of nature. In the context of an exhibition, she searches to create a dialogue between the drawings and the exhibition space. Therefore, the space is used as a possible surface for her drawings, which are expanding themselves from one room to another, from one plane to another, in order to transform their perceptions.

Fiction Landscape, A Thousand Plateaus Art Space, Chengdu (2016)
Absolute, Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai (2016)
