Tianshu Zhang is a painter now living and studying in New York. Her semi-abstract figurative paintings are often inspired by dreams, memories, fantasies and all forms of stage performance, rendered with traditional painting and drawing materials. With distorted, exaggerated human bodies and mysterious spaces in her paintings, Tianshu continually explores the themes of human nature, emotions, and desires. She got her Bachelor of Fine arts degree from The University of Texas at Austin in 2017 and came to New York to obtain her Master degree in fine arts at the School of Visual Arts in 2021.
