Xieni Zhou

Xieni Zhou is a Chinese visual artist currently living in London. She received her MA Fine Art and MA Illustration degrees from Camberwell College of Art and Royal College of Art, respectively.

Curiosity begins with the cyclical phenomenon of decay and regeneration in nature, Xieni aims to capture the fragile and transitional details of the natural world as visible traces. The focus is on time-based drawing practices, investigating how people perceive time through environmental changes and how these sensory variations evoke a sense of the value of being in a place. By examining the perspectives of our ecological identity, Xieni hopes to understand and reflect on how humans relate to nature in society today.
