倪芙瑞莲的 个人简介-简单中文

Niamh Cunningham is a visual artist working in Beijing for more than a decade. Her work is focused on ecological insights and linked to themes of collective transformation. She works mostly with paints, and employs mixed media and photographic processes in developing new techniques such as her “Sucrose Series”. She explores the space between the known and the unknown, of recognition and perception in her Portraits .  In November 2020 she began work on a pilot project Microbe Art with research scientists the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE)  .

Light and transparency are often signatures in her work.

At the beginning of 2020  was a return to Nature with “The Memory Palace of Tree Stories” .  This is a collection of  stories from different people around the globe while working on painting and mixed media  on the subject of trees. More recently  the stories are in short video format .  Another  socio eco art practice  began June 2022 with “Tree Planter”  a tree installation which invites people to add their  carefully folded origami leaves made from one yuan notes to the tree.  Other kinds of work include the ‘Sucrose Series’ which investigates nature and loss and transformation, it is a multilayered process where crystallisation is worked with other interventions .

Since arriving in China , she has  explored textile installation  art such as: When I was 11,  the Pillar of Time, the Hair Skull and the Hair Lock and other projects such as sound performance which was performed in the National Centre for Performing Arts as part of the Irish Wave exhibitions in 2012 .   “The Hair Lock” was exhibited at the WhiteBox gallery in New York in September 2015 and also Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, Taipei in November 2016 and various museums around China. Some thoughts the artist has about working with DNA as an art material  can be found here. 

Cunningham has been co-curating exhibitions in Beijing and Shanghai with Irish Wave for a number of years (2012-2016). She was the Beijing co -curator for the Intimate Transgressions exhibition in October 2015. Please click here for the post on Oct 2016 See A Walk with the Curators
