Painting, Film, and Land

Enter Zhuo Xiong’s world of painting, film, and material memory, shaped by land, labor, and return.

Featured Exhibition

Zhuo Xiong: Nomadic Threads, Oxidized Dreams

Fou Gallery, New York

By Yi Cao

Zhuo Xiong’s art merges the deeply personal and the universally resonant, weaving a layered narrative of identity, migration, and transformation. From the desolate grasslands of Inner Mongolia to the bustling metropolis of New York, his expressions shape a new body of work reflecting the tensions between adaptation and rootedness, negotiating the challenge of discovering a sense of self in a world defined by perpetual movement and change.

About Zhuo Xiong

Zhuo Xiong’s practice moves between painting, film, and object-making to examine how land, labor, memory, and personal history shape identity. Drawing from Inner Mongolia, the Royal College of Art, and New York, his work transforms lived experience into material forms of rupture, inheritance, and return.
