Born in 1994 in Brampton, Canada
Lives and works between Brooklyn and New Haven, USA
Ang Ziqi Zhang was born in Brampton, Ontario and received a BA Visual Arts and a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago in 2016. Their practice examines the functioning of emotion under late capitalism, incorporating both painting as well as DJing. Both facets of their work operate as a space of sensorial play and alterity. They incorporate fluorescent colors inspired by nightclub lighting and the visual culture of 1990s dance music within their underpaintings. Their paintings are visually layered, including large boxes of plexiglass, aluminum and woodblock prints, which reflect the sonic lushness and syncopation in their music. They have exhibited at Good Weather Gallery in Chicago, and Each Modern in Taipei, Taiwan.
