An artist, fairy-tale writer, and poet, Zhou Yiwen is a pioneering figure in the Chinese avant-garde and the originator of the “New Renaissance” movement, which seeks to reawaken classical European thought by integrating it with the Eastern artistic tradition. His practice – spanning painting, sculpture, installation, and digital art – reclaims the subjectivity of Chinese art within a Western context, transforming the power dynamics of the global era into visual allegory through a fairy-tale imagination and poetic spirit.
