Stella Zhong（b. 1993, China）currently lives and works in New York. She holds a BFA in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Yale University.

Stella Zhong’s sculpture calibrates to both the particulate and the cosmic, held together by installations and videos that oscillate vastly in scale, material, and approachability. Her elemental forms are gravitational but cannot be accessed. Seen forensically, smooth, enveloping volumes are infiltrated by endearing objects – following them in turn leads one into ontologically frightening territory. 

In her idiosyncratic way, Zhong magnifies the gap between the internal and infinite, bringing decidedly incommensurable relations onto the same plane while making distance in perception and comprehension felt. Zhong’s worlds withdraw entirely from the human scale, instead pressing for a new mathematics, a new power structure, to find footing. Yet this heady side is offset by tactility, precarity, and an existential humor that is deeply human, reflecting contemporary frictions between solitude and connectivity, expansion and opacity, and the simultaneous and indeterminate. 

Zhong has had solo exhibitions at ROH, Jakarta, Indonesia; Antenna Space, Shanghai, CN; The Intermission, Piraeus, GRC; Chapter NY; Fanta-MLN, Milan; Adams and Ollman, Portland, OR; and Guan Shan Yue Art Museum, Shenzhen; among others. Zhong has exhibited internationally at Para Site, Hong Kong; The Powerstation, Dallas, TX; Asia Art Society, Houston, TX; Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul; SculptureCenter, Queens, NY; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; Deborah Schamoni, Munich; Grimm Gallery, London/New York; Galerie Wschód, Warsaw/New york; Jeffrey Deitch, LA; Blindspot, Hong Kong and more. Her work has been reviewed on FlashArt, ArtAsiaPacific, Mousse Magazine, Texte zur Kunst, The New York Times, Art in America, among others.
