Visit studio of Stella Zhang.

Stella Zhang’s art expresses hidden conflicts that challenge our ability to connect to our shared struggles with power; inequality and identity. Her starting point is the human body and all aspects of human nature—the most basic truths. She chooses familiar and ordinary materials, that activate our memories and connect us with universal fears and desires. Stella’s work subtly engages viewers, stimulates conversation; and challenges us to question the boundaries and rules we accept.

Stella Zhang was born in Beijing, China. She received her BFA at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing in 1989. She continued her studies in Japan at Tama Art University, and then at Tokyo Art University earning her MFA in 1996. She has been living in the United States since 2003.
