Liao Wen is an artist born in Chengdu and currently based in Hong Kong. Her practice encompasses a range of mediums, including sculpture, video, and performance.

In her work, she frequently integrates puppet elements with sculpture to create bodies that are charged with tension or evoke empathy, often presented in states of fragmentation and deformation. Her practice is deeply autobiographical yet also informed by extensive research into rituals, myths, social customs, and technology. Through this lens, she focuses on oppressed and regulated bodies, exploring themes of control and vulnerability, as well as harm and protection.

Her most recent solo exhibition, "Trust Fall," held at the MACA Art Center in Beijing in 2025, aims to articulate the sense of displacement and unease regarding self-identity she experienced after moving to Hong Kong, and reflects upon the underlying political orders that shape this perception. Other solo exhibitions include: Capsule Shanghai (Venice, 2024; Shanghai, 2021) and Cai Jin Space (Beijing, 2021). Significant group exhibitions include:  "One Way Ashore, A Thousand Channels" (2024) at the Guangdong Times Museum; "Unlearning by Nature" (2023) at the Pan-Southeast Asia Triennial; and “Resonances of One Hundred Things" (2021) at the OCAT Biennale.


Liao Wen was awarded the Stand Prize at Frieze New York 2023, was shortlisted for the Italian Ducato Prize in 2023, and was selected as one of Art in America's New Talent artists in 2022. Her work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, The Art Newspaper (Chinese Edition), and ArtReview Asia. Furthermore, her pieces are included in the publication GREAT WOMEN SCULPTORS by Phaidon Press.

廖雯是出生於成都，現居香港的藝術家。她的創作媒介涵蓋雕塑、影像與表演。她常在創作中將木偶元素與雕塑結合，塑造出充滿張力或引人同情的軀體，這些軀體往往呈現破碎與變形之態。藝術家的創作既具備自傳性質，亦廣泛研究儀式、神話、社會習俗與技術，藉此聚焦於受壓制和規訓的身體，並透過作品探討控制與脆弱、傷害與保護之間的關係。

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）。重要的群展包括：廣東時代美術館的「潮水有期」（2024）、泛東南亞三年展的「博物之知」（2023）以及 OCAT 雙年展的「百物之息」（2021）。


她榮獲 2023 年 Frieze 紐約藝博會的 Stand Prize，亦入圍 2023 年義大利 Ducato Prize，並於 2022 年入選為《Art in America》雜誌的 New Talent 藝術家之一。廖雯的作品曾被《紐約時報》、《藝術新聞（中文版）》、《ArtReview 藝術世界》等刊物報導，其作品收錄於 Phaidon Press 出版的《GREAT WOMEN SCULPTORS》中。
