Hanzhi Zhong (b. 1999) is a Chinese artist based in London. She completed her MA in Illustration at Kingston University and has developed a distinctive style in fine arts and illustration. Her work explores themes of life, death, and human emotions, drawing deep inspiration from the impermanence of life and its connection to nature.
Hanzhi's art, expressed through painting, printmaking, animation, and sculpture, is a journey into the soul. Often featuring the human form and skeleton, her work symbolizes a desire for deconstruction. "I attempt to strip away the flesh, touching upon the shape of the soul." Through meticulous detail and profound symbolism, Hanzhi's art captures life's beauty and complexity.
