Wu Yuren
Wu Yuren (b.1971, Jiangsu, China) graduated from the Art Department of Jiangsu Technology Normal Academy, Changzhou, China in 1994, and was the visiting professor at University of Saskatchewan, Canada in 2004.
Wu Yuren is an independent artist living and working in Beijing, China.
Living in this dramatically changing country and an increasingly flat world in the exchange of information, the work of an artist has a filter attribute. The artist tried to use the art language to capture the debris of concept in big social movements and incidents, and also embraced one after another social and political baptism in art itself, leading to a march towards the stranger danger to experience the warmth and enthusiasm given by this era and humanity.
