ARTIST | TABULA RASA GALLERY

Tant Yunshu ZHONG (b.1990, Wuhan, China) lives and works in Shanghai, China. Zhong’s artistic practice focuses on the moments within everyday flow that can be used for resistance and questioning. These frozen moments may be simple, elegant, slightly comedic, or even absurd. There is no precise boundary in her assemblages; they are dispersed yet mutually constrained. She excels at linking, arranging, combining, and constructing multiple associations between different objects and words. She skillfully places the contradictions hidden within organic life. The state of her works seems to want to return to some fundamental rules and rhythms while faintly attempting to break them.  
 
Her recent solo exhibitions include: Unbelievably Soft Process，Tabula Rasa Gallery (Beijing,2025); Where Does a Wanderer Seek Rest at Night?, Tabula Rasa Gallery (London, 2023); Having a good night’s sleep, LISTE Basel (Basel, 2023); A Kitchen Blessing, LINSEED (Shanghai, 2022); The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog, Tabula Rasa Gallery (Beijing, 2020); The Endless Spring, J: Gallery (Shanghai, 2016); Tissue and Tissue Paper, Tabula Rasa Gallery (Beijing, 2016); Lead, Lead, Lead, Surplus Space (Wuhan, 2016).
