Chris Lau

The Royal College of Art

Chinese mixed media artist Chris Lau (b.1995), explores the post-urbanized human condition through his artwork. His childhood in the Chinese countryside has significantly influenced his worldview, values, and perception, he seeks to free entrenched narratives from the past to comprehend their impact on the present. His artwork discusses nature and oblivion in society, the very people and things that society has enveloped us in, these may symbolize what the future society could look like. Through his artistic practice, he challenges the audience to reflect on the relationship between individuals and society, the connection between nature and human activities, and the possible direction of future society.
