Song Kun

Song Kun graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in China in 2006 with a master's degree. Besides painting as her medium of choice, Song Kun also produces works through other means such as live music, music videos and installations, etc.

Song Kun’s work has always contained two important concepts: "streaming narrative of consciousness" and “the synaesthesia of subconsciousness”. These are important features in her creation that reflect her inheritance of the Chinese aesthetics. She never tries to provide any fixed symbols or concepts, but proposes a sample as an individual of China at the current stage in answer to such a topic: how to feel the cognitive experiences and emotions given by life. “Her firmness and self-confidence have enabled her to borrow from music, sound, videos as well as other media to give her paintings a special power of narrative.

In recent years, Song Kun’s artistic creation has entered a new stage. She experimentally integrates contemporary subcultures and religious elements into her creative system, forming a unique sample that is closer to her personal temperament.
