Wu Linghao, born in Fuzhou, Fujian in 1997, currently lives in Shanghai. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 2020. His practice concerns the condition of the individual within the era, intertwining personal experience with grand narratives. Taking East Asia's "compressed modernity" as a point of departure, individuals and family, the body and the city, and the specters of everyday life and history all become sources of inspiration for his work. By connecting memory and imagination, ritual becomes a means of reconnecting the individual, allowing the past, present, and future to wrestle with one another within his works.
