Yuchen Xin
Born in 1998 in Shanghai, China, now lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
My artist practice explores ideas relating to self-awareness, the human condition and unconscious self-expression through various mediums including mixed media hand-made objects, painting, video, ceramics and digital work. The unique anthropomorphic characters I create engage both my personal universe and common moments in human lives. I consider my characters to have aspects of absurdity, strangeness and craziness like all human beings while they still retain a lovable quality.
