Liang Zhou/ Book Edition

Liang is a Chinese-born artist and practice-based PhD researcher currently based in the United Kingdom. Her work investigates the visual and material transformation of poetic and narrative texts within the context of contemporary printmaking. Drawing from both Chinese and Western literary and visual traditions, Liang explores how fragmented language—particularly the interplay between Chinese and English—can be restructured into visual compositions that transcend cultural boundaries.

Her practice engages with themes of language and identity, reflecting her personal navigation between cultural spaces. Incorporating Chinese poetic imagery and sensibilities into her print-based works, Liang's research constructs layered visual narratives that interrogate the boundaries between word and image, self and other, and language and material. Through her art, she reflects on her evolving identity as a translingual and transcultural subject, questioning how cultural belonging can be reimagined through visual means and explore the issue of identity.
