Tianshu Zhang
MFA Fine Arts: 2023
Tianshu’s semi-abstract paintings offer her perspective of the ways we move though the world. She translates images from our everyday life, into ambiguous shapes in fantastical spaces. Tianshu drawn to work about her own experiences of the world, the fact that she had move from place to place during her childhood, brings the sense of distance and mystery in all her works. Figures in her paintings are always fading into the background or become incomplete, with her very limited choice of color, most of her works exudes a similar atmosphere and emotion. Tianshu moved from China to United states at the age of 15, She got her Bachelor of Fine arts degree from The University of Texas at Austin in 2017 and came to New York to obtain her master’s degree in fine arts at the School of Visual Arts in 2021.
