Muhan Jiang is a London-based sculptor. Before her MA program at the RCA, she received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her general practice is centralized around developing a personal pictorial language through an improvisational process of collecting, assembling, and constructing objects, forms, colors, and materials. The work seeks for a visual balance while investigating the notion of hybridity and boundary, the boundary between the figural and the abstract, painting and sculpture, and recently, the boundary between digital and physical.

The series of work being presented here tend to be more abstract due to the lack of real-life reference for material and objects during the pandemic, and instead, they draw more from the systems and the organization of our contemporary life, high rise architectures, and apartment buildings, urban grid, as well as the technological structures. Recalling the physical isolation and geometricization of our social space.
