Visual Artist
Zhiyu Xiao (CN, b. 1995) is a Helsinki-based artist. He explores the notion of exhibition as a medium through material discursive practices of painting. In the past of two years, his research has been focusing on the study of landscape across different historical contexts and origins as a tool to address the gendered, colonial, and racial economy of images in the contemporary society. He obtained his MFA in Painting at the University of Arts Helsinki and will be a resident at Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht in 2025. His recent exhibitions include solo shows at SIC Space (September 2023), at Helsinki Art Museum Gallery (July 2024) in Helsinki and at Villa Clea in Milan (April 2024).
