Wen Chia Ning ​ 溫佳寧 /  wen gum gum 溫金金 / Duckcrow

 

1994-

​Lives and works in Taipei.

​

wen gum gum is specialized in painting, audio-visual, visual design and interactive installations. As a creator of the visual arts field, she remain highly sensitive to political and gender issues. In particular, her observation focuses on how the media manipulates public ideology and transmits messages through the use of visual images.

​

gum uses the image as a tool for self-introspection and outlets, interweaving inner spirituality, the world, and the internet, with absurdity as an inevitable adornment to the process of making the work. She is concerned with the way in which mass media portrays characters, particularly in relation to the narrowing of gender roles.
