Rooted in the belief of cross-cultural pollination, Han Mengyun’s painting practice aims to create possible articulations of alterity in contemporary art practice and theory by referencing non-western systems of thought and a reservoir of images. Merging various traditions, Han has also explored the expanded use of craft and the conception of architectural spaces that aim to contextualize the religious and cultural specificities behind the production of images.
Han Mengyun received her B. A in Studio Art from Bard College in the US in 2012 and has pursued the study of Sanskrit at various institutions such as Kyoto University before completing her MFA at the University of Oxford in 2018.
