Sophie Ruoyu Zhang is a Chinese artist born in 1999, currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, US.
“Working as a ‘diffraction apparatus’”, her practice utilizes multiple natural materials(napa cabbage, wine, coffee, etc.). Her oil painting, printmaking, and performance respond to and reinterpret the natural objects that are in a limbo of recognition, permeating poetics, on the threshold of the subjecthood, the recognizable and the representable. Under the aspect of asemic arts, the achievement of "words"/"scores" in symbiosis with humans, nature, and the autonomous poetics that adds new perspectives to art by incorporating ideas from material ecocriticism and post-nature.
