Jun Rui Lo West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Jun Rui Lo (b. Hong Kong) is a Leeds-based artist whose practice revolves around the entangled emotions that emerge from drifting between gender and cultural identities. Working primarily with drawing and sculptural juxtaposition, Lo constructs fragmented allegorical narratives and out-of-place scenes that oscillate between fiction and reality, embodying the aesthetics of ambiguity and melancholy.
