Jiayun Chen is originally from Wenzhou, China, but currently resides in Los Angeles, California. She obtained her BFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2020 and has recently completed her Master of Fine Arts at USC Roski School of Art and Design. Slow-processes characterize her art practice by engaging with drawing, trophy-making, painting, sculptures, and installation-making. She is currently interested in language—and in particular, how language functions as a communication tool and the slippages that occur inevitably.
Her exhibition "tat skin slip tongue" is currently on display at a domestic project space Orlando in Koreatown, Los Angeles until May 21st. Recently, she took part in Ahorita! at Charlie James Gallery and Minor Gaps Between at Human Resources in Los Angeles.
