Ju Ting
Ju Ting was (b. 1983, China) graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a BA in 2007, and with a master in 2013. Ju employs printmaking processes to create works that blur the boundary between painting and sculpture. Her works are distinguished by the application of multiple layers of thick acrylic paint on wooden panels, which she allows to accumulate to substantial density before carving into them. This practice transforms the cold and industrial medium into something tactile and unexpectedly organic. Working in series, Ju extends conceptual threads from one body of work to the next, maintaining continuity while opening new discursive possibilities. Ju interrogates bodily experiences that challenge entrenched patriarchal narratives within art history and contemporary society.
Her recent solo exhibitions include: Summer, Galerie Urs Meile, Zurich (Rämistrasse), Switzerland (2026, upcoming exhibition); Amber, Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, China (2025); Deep in the Mountains, Galerie Urs Meile, Lucerne, Switzerland (2024).
