Liao Wen (b. Chengdu, currently lives and works in Hong Kong) is an artist whose practice primarily centers on sculpture. Her early research into marionette craftsmanship infuses her sculptures with distinct joint structures and physical tension, forming bodies that inhabit a space between control and constraint—simultaneously resilient and fragmented.


Liao’s perspective is deeply rooted in her experiences of migration amid China’s rapid urbanization. Working through an allegorical lens, she weaves together personal memory, mythology, and material elements to address the rupture between individual experience and collective narratives in a fluid society. By constructing theatrical liminal spaces, her work focuses on disciplined and suppressed bodies, inviting viewers to examine the power dynamics surrounding the body, gender, and control along the precarious edges of "control and vulnerability" and "harm and protection."

Her recent solo exhibition Trust Fall was held at the MACA Art Center in Beijing in 2025, exploring the displacement and unease regarding identity following her relocation to Hong Kong, alongside reflections on the underlying political orders shaping such perception. Her other solo exhibitions include Capsule (Venice, 2024; Shanghai, 2021) and Cai Jin Space (Beijing, 2021).

Important group exhibitions and institutional projects include Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy presented by the ArtScience Museum Singapore in collaboration with the Getty Museum (2026), the British Council (Hong Kong, 2025), the Guangdong Times Museum (2024), "Unlearning by Nature" at the First T-SEAisa Triennial, Art Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (2023), and the OCAT Biennale (2021).

She was the recipient of the Focus Stand Prize at Frieze New York in 2023 and was selected as a resident artist by Pro Helvetia Switzerland in 2025. Liao Wen's work has been featured in international publications such as the New York Times International Edition, ArtReview, The Art Newspaper China, and Art in America, and is included in GREAT WOMEN SCULPTORS published by Phaidon Press.

廖雯（b. 成都，現居香港）是一名以雕塑為主要媒介的藝術家。早期對木偶技藝的研究，為其雕塑注入了特殊的關節結構與物理張力，塑造出介於控制與限制、充滿韌性又呈現破碎之態的軀體。

廖雯的觀察視角根植於中國快速城市化進程中的遷移經驗。她以寓言的方式，將個人記憶、神話與物質材料編織，回應流動社會中個體與集體敘事之間的斷層。通過營造富於戲劇性的閾限空間，她的作品聚焦於受規訓與壓制的身體，引導觀者在“控制與脆弱”、“傷害與保護”的邊緣，審視身體、性別與權力的角力。

她近期的個展是 2025 年於北京 MACA Art Center 舉辦的「信任墜落」，該展覽旨在表現她移居香港後，對自我身分的錯位不安感，以及對塑造這種感知的潛在政治秩序的思考。她的其他個展包括：膠囊空間（威尼斯，2024；上海，2021）與蔡錦空間（北京，2021）。

重要的群展與機構項目包括：新加坡藝術科學美術館與洛杉矶蓋蒂中心聯合呈現的「Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy」（2026）、英國文化協會（香港，2025）、廣東時代美術館（2024）、首屆泛東南亞三年展「博物之知」單元（廣州美術學院美術館，2023），以及 OCAT 雙年展（2021）。

她榮獲 2023 年 Frieze 紐約藝博會的 Stand Prize，並於 2025 年入选瑞士文化基金會（Pro Helvetia）駐地藝術家。廖雯的作品曾被《紐約時報》國際版、《ArtReview》中文版、《藝術新聞（中文版）》、《Art in America》等國際刊物深度報導，其作品亦收錄於 Phaidon Press 出版的《GREAT WOMEN SCULPTORS》中。
