Wenyi Pan is the current ACS GSS Graduate Fellow for 2023-24

Wenyi has a BA in Public Art received from the China Academy of Art, and graduated from MFA program at the Glasgow School of Art. Wenyi's artworks focus on sculptures and installations related to social dilemmas and folklores. Her works have been exhibited in various cities, including Hangzhou, Beijing, Carrara and Glasgow. With the concern about participation and mental impact of artwork towards the public, Wenyi also engages in community art and has held several art workshops in both China and Scotland as the organizer and facilitator.

Wenyi Pan's current practice is concerned with narratives of individual stories, especially regarding female dilemmas, which allude to a more complex collective memory. Her sculptural installation works strive for the balance between resistance and illusion, private and public when rewriting these issues. Wenyi researches and practices a restrained approach to alienating these social dilemmas, mixing reality with fiction in space. She aims to let the silence and the restrained re-presentation of artworks become a medium for the viewer to perceive metaphor and acquire knowledge.
