Tong Wenmin (b. 1989, Chongqing, China) received her BFA at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2012. Her work often focuses on the intersection between individual perception and the external environment, stimulating visual poetry and inspiring action through behaviors that at first seem counter-intuitive. Through often simplified or regulated movements, her work hints at the allegorical character of the body and action within a semantically rich context. Tong has recent solo / duo shows at Essence Contemporary Art Museum, Chongqing; OCT Boxes Art Museum, Foshan; WHITE SPACE, Beijing, and recent group shows at HE ART MUSEUM, Foshan; By Art Matters, Hangzhou; Power Station of Art, Shanghai; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; A4 Art Museum, Chengdu; House of Egorn, Berlin; BARRAK, Okinawa. She won the Grand Jury Prize of Huayu Youth Award in 2018, the First Prize of the 8th New Star Art Award by Deji Art Museum in 2018, and has also been selected for The Swiss Arts Council Artists Residency, Switzerland (2021) and other residencies.
