ZINAN LAM

CV

Zinan Lam is an artist who currently resides in and works in Shanghai, China. In 2003, a lingering encounter with street graffiti kickstarted his creative explorations. Lam is part of a creative wave that promotes increasingly fluid and collaborative collecting practices. His work has permeated into other realms as well; aside from public murals, the artist has collaborated with brands like Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Nike, and HSBC and has been featured in other younger, global collections as well.

To this day, Lam’s work integrates elements of public art and installation into his artistic practice. His pieces depict themes like natural philosophy, Eastern culture, and individuality, all while fusing his background in traditional Chinese painting with his interest in Western graffiti art. Lam has created his own artistic language, one that has reached the walls and installation spaces of multiple modern cities in an explosion of material and media.
