Jenyu Wang
An artist and researcher, Jenyu Wang's interests in temporal and spatial relationships are largely due to growing up in a fractured cultural-political environment. Born in Taiwan and immigrated to the United States in her mid-teens, Jenyu perceives her world in disjunction, instead of continuity. After graduating from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Jenyu pursued a PhD in modern Taiwanese art with a Taiwanese art historian at University of Maryland, College Park, before leaving the program and completing a master's degree in Photography at University of Illinois at Chicago. Ever since then, the artist's personal mission has been to reapproach the cerebral by breaking it down and reshaping it in new sculptural and moving image forms.
Thematically, Jenyu's work represents subconscious desires and curiosity, in ways that bring imagination to the physical forefront, through a lens that prioritizes female psychology and physiology.
