关于艺术家 About the Artist

Ins: @m.a.woiling

出身于广东，成长于北京，纽约视觉艺术学院取得插画本科学位，皇家艺术学院取得雕塑硕士学位。目前居住工作于上海。

作品在性与性别的大主题下，以个人童年经历切入，讨论思春期的暴力和忧郁，性幻想中的权力流动，以及女性气质。艺术家擅长用发育中少女的口吻描绘带有压力的，静谧的野蛮。画中并不重点描绘流血，伤痕和斗争，取之而代的用人类或动物纯粹的肉体传递愤怒和下沉感。艺术家在用其作品缓慢侵犯观众，将不可逃避的欲望降临在观众的身上。

于2020年获得JIA国际插画艺术竞赛铜奖，作品刊登于 Altiba9艺术原创杂志05号。部分具象绘画由西班牙的Altiba9画廊代理。近几年她在纽约和伦敦的The Koppel Project画廊，伦敦Standpoint gallery ，纽约La MaMa Gallery画廊，纽约切尔西Blackbird gallery黑鸟画廊等画廊参展。

Born in Guangdong and raised in Beijing, Ruocong Ma undertook a BFA degree in illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She continued her studies at the Royal College of Art on the master’s program in sculpture. Now she is based in Shanghai.

Under the general theme of sex and gender, Ruocong Ma chose her personal puberty experience as a pointcut, exploring the violence and melancholy of adolescence and the power flow in sexual fantasies. She is enthusiastic about using the voice of a budding girl to depict the silence truculence. Instead of focusing on blood, scars, and conflict, she conveys anger and a sinking feeling in the pure flesh of a human or an animal in a tender way. She slowly rapes the viewer with her work, bringing an inescapable pressure upon the audience.

Ruocong Ma’s Painting was published in Altiba9 art magazine original05 and won the JIA Illustration Award 2020 Bronze Award. The series of figurative paintings were presented by the Altiba9 gallery. Her works have been exhibited in London and NYC, including Blackbird Gallery, NYC; La MaMa Gallery, NYC; Standpoint Gallery, London; The Koppel Project, London.
