nemo chen (陈薪旭) is an artist specializing in lens experiments, including still and moving image art, AI-generated art, and image installations. After obtaining her bachelor's degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she now divides her work and life between Chicago and various cities in China. Her works have been exhibited at venues such as the PhotoVogue Festival in Milan, Italy; the CICA Museum in South Korea; the Chicago Fine Art Salon; the Epoch Art Museum; the Lishui Photography Festival; and the Beijing 798 Art District. Her works are featured in The Artling and have been specially selected for the Surrealist Photography Collection. Featured works and artist interviews have been published in over a dozen international media outlets and publications, including Vogue Italia, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE China, Cosmopolitan, and more.

 

Chen's experiments focus on the relationship between individuals, groups, and spaces, studying the changes in different groups and individuals within social structures under fluidity conditions. The interaction and confrontation between the external world and the inner self is the motif in her work. She describes her artistic exploration as a personalized expression of narrative and conceptual ideas using light as the primary material. Drawing from her personal experiences and moments of self-awareness, she aims to reconstruct unsettled topics in her artistic narrative from a female perspective.
