b.1988, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China
Han’s work flows from her experience of home and relocation.
Moved from China at age 24, she feels the ambivalence between nostalgia and wistfulness of transition. This encouraged her to create this uncertainty and spectacular feeling throughout her work. Interested in the social phenomenon of groups and individuals move from places to places, she translated the moments of passing through, getting together, migrating and even conflicting.
While primarily focusing on digital art, Han’s work also extends to printmaking, video, installation and performance art. She earned her B.F.A. and M.F.A. in Printmaking from China Academy of Art (Hangzhou) and her M.F.A. in Digital Arts from Pratt Institute (New York) in 2017. Currently, She lives and works in New York and Hangzhou as an artist, writer, researcher, and Chancellor Award adjunct professor at State University of New York at Stony Brook (New York). Han’s work has continued to exhibit in the U.S. and China, including Pollock-Krasner House, East Hampton, New York (2024); Heckscher Museum of Art, Huntington, New York (2023, 2018, 2016); Nassau County Museum of Art, Roslyn, New York (2020); Fou Gallery, New York (2019), Deji Art Museum, Nanjing, China (2017); Changjiang Museum of Contemporary Art, Chongqing, China (2017). Han was the recipient of the 2023 NYSCA award for Film, Media, and New Technology and is a founding member of the US Immigrant Artist Network and an Executive Committee member of the Chinese American Art Faculty Association.
