Share

Kara Chin is a British-Singaporean artist working across animation, ceramics, sculpture and installation. She uses playful materials, strange scales and fragmented references as an attempt to create something tangible from confusion, reflecting on our day to day relationship to fast evolving technologies and ecologies. Works often suggest quasi-religious ceremonies or devices, set in a temporal void of futuristic and ancient symbols, intermingled with present day artefacts and popular culture. Her sculptures come to life as hybrid creatures, constantly shape shifting between object, being and setting.
Chin lives and works in Newcastle, UK. She holds a BA in Fine Art from The Slade School of Fine Art (2018). She was featured in Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2018, and has been awarded the Woon Foundation Painting and Sculpture Prize (2018); The Duveen Travel Scholarship, UCL (2018); The Alfred W Rich Prize, Slade (2017); Max Werner Drawing Prize, Slade (2015).
