Shuge Ma

Shuge Ma (b.1999, Beijing) is a Chinese artist currently based in the UK. Her practice encompasses painting, mixed-media installations and video. Her works focus on how those with "temporary immigration status" navigate themselves in the cultural gaps between different societies. In her practice, Shuge discusses the concept of "in between", which she considers both her predicament and her inspiration. Shuge also explores the influence of contemporary art on people from various cultural and social backgrounds. Her life experiences in different countries have enabled Shuge to focus on the cultural differences between the West and the East, as well as between urban and rural areas. She holds a BFA (First Class Honours) in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London.
