Zhu Ziwei was born in 1997 in Yichang, Hubei Province, China. She attended the Fine Arts School Affiliated to China Central Academy of Fine Arts from 2012-2016, graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts from with a BFA in 2020, and graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts with an MA in 2023, and currently lives and works in Beijing.

Zhu Ziwei’s artistic practice functions as a kinetic textual spectrometer, transmuting literary radiations into undulating celluloid visions. Those latent tremors embedded in feminine écriture—the drifting whalebones from Tokarczuk’s mythoscapes, the convulsive pendulums in Plath’s confessional verse, the sanguine vascular systems within Han Kang’s botanical metaphors—undergo chromatic decryption through her brush, emerging as novelistic climaxes rendered in chromatographic revelations. Thus transfigured, the stratified textures construct archaeological theaters of memory, while abraded brushstrokes index emotional micro-fragments, and ruptured edges expose cognitive rifts of the subconscious.

The artist inherits the Pre-Raphaelites’ devotional approach to literature, weaving pictorial lexicons into constellations of metaphor. As the gaze navigates between abstract color fields and figurative fragments, the warp and weft of cognition quietly spin a new web of significance—Proustian epiphanies materializing like madeleines of memory dissolving into retinal afterglow. These textual stardust particles suspended above pigment swamps constitute both clandestine dialogues with literary precursors and relentless probes into visual potentiality. During protracted moments of contemplation, when symbolic nebulae within the canvas begin their celestial rotation, the conversation between painting and literature persists eternally—yet Zhu Ziwei seeks her own grammatical whispers within the folds of spacetime.
