Translating Wounds: Wuchao Feng’s Feminine Ecologies and Transcultural Alchemy

4 days ago | ourculturemag.com | Abbie Wilson

In the silence between materials, Wuchao Feng makes language. Salt crystals crunch underfoot, uneven pearls spell aphasic fragments, and a red heap dissolves into migration trails—each gesture a poetics of the inarticulable. If her earlier work offered a visual grammar of fluid identity, her most recent explorations in salt and pearl have shifted toward a dense, embodied metaphysics—one in which materiality is both archive and oracle.
Reframing Material: Youyang Zhao’s Response to Craft in Transition

1 week ago | ourculturemag.com | Abbie Wilson

In the shifting landscape of contemporary craft, one question echoes with increasing urgency: how do traditional methods remain alive without becoming frozen in time? Can the language of handcraft still speak—relevantly, poetically—within a hyper-digital, fast-paced material world? These questions lie at the heart of the practice of London-based metalsmith and jewellery artist Youyang Zhao.

1 week ago | ourculturemag.com | Abbie Wilson

New York City’s exhibitive tattoo scene is a melting pot of styles and talents, but few artists have embarked on a journey as unique or achieved recognition as rapidly as Sumok Kim. Originally a South Korean children’s book salesman, Kim transformed a burgeoning interest in drawing into a mastery of realist tattooing, now leaving a distinguished mark on clients and conventions alike from his NYC base. Kim’s path into the world of ink began unexpectedly in 2015.

Artifice as Emotion: The Posthuman Aesthetics of Yanran Chen

1 week ago | ourculturemag.com | Abbie Wilson

Sometimes, the most telling visions of our era don’t announce themselves in grand gestures — they blink softly from behind tempered glass, lacquered in baby pink, silicone-smooth and screen-ready. Yanran Chen’s Neon Dreamland, her first solo exhibition in China, isn’t a debut — it’s a simulation of one.

The Quiet Resistance of Jichi Zhang’s Art

2 weeks ago | ourculturemag.com | Abbie Wilson

There’s something ghostly about Jichi Zhang’s practice, but not in a haunted-house way — more like the feeling of breath fogging up a sheet of glass that’s already on the verge of disappearing. Born in Hohhot, China, in 2001 and now living and working in London, Zhang emerged through the alternative arteries of contemporary art: from Central Saint Martins’ experimental XD pathway to an Erasmus stint in Berlin. His work, however, barely reads as “sculpture” in any conventional sense.

2 weeks ago | ourculturemag.com | Abbie Wilson

Walking into Designing the Gesture of Power doesn’t feel like entering a typical gallery. It’s quieter than you expect — not in volume, but in tone. Nothing shouts. There are no flashing signs or didactic panels commanding your attention. Instead, there’s a kind of poised restraint — surfaces gleaming, objects placed with an almost eerie exactness. Curated by Purva Kundaje, the space is laid out with surgical precision, more like a laboratory than a lounge. At first, it feels familiar, domestic even.
