Shuling Zhou is a multimedia artist born in 1999 in Chengdu, China. She graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in Environmental Design. Her professional background spans game environment concept art, immersive moving image, and digital stage visuals, alongside music-video effects and narrative-led product development. Her work brings together images, space, visual expression, sensory experience, and literary narrative.
This varied experience informs her interest in how different media can push beyond their boundaries and intersect, and in the ambiguities and contradictions within interpersonal relationships and human relationships with nature and society. A deeply personal experience of creating through intuition alone prompted her decision to pursue an independent artistic practice.
Working with painting, poetry, moving image, and installation, Zhou explores bodily intuition, control and its loss, existence, and nothingness. Images and words often emerge together in her practice, giving rise to one another while remaining independent. “I find that I have a particular sensitivity to words and images,” she says.
Her work has been exhibited in London and Guangzhou and selected for inclusion in Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art Magazine, Issue 22.

周姝伶，多媒介艺术家，1999年生于中国成都，毕业于天津美术学院环境设计专业。她曾从事游戏场景概念设计、沉浸影像与数字舞台视觉，并参与音乐影像特效及叙事性产品创意研发。她的工作融合且跨越图像、空间、视觉、人的感官体验以及文学叙事。多元且丰富的多领域工作经历让她在个人创作中更关注多种媒介的互相突破与融合，人和人、自然、社会的暧昧与矛盾。因为一次纯直觉的真实创作经历，她决定转型成为一名艺术家。目前，她以绘画、诗歌、影像和装置，探索人的身体直觉、控制与失控、存在与虚无。在她的创作中，图像和文字常常一同出现，既相生又独立。“我发现自己常对文字和图像有特别的感觉。”作品曾于伦敦及广州展出，并入选Al-Tiba9 Contemporary Art Magazine第22期。
