CHENLU HOU
Chenlu Hou's imaginative sculptures are inspired by traditional Chinese folklore, monuments, ceremonial objects, and events in the artist's daily life. She blends together her own personal memories and interpretations of traditional storytelling into a unique artistic language that includes sharp decorative elements, and the suggestion of narrative, guided by the relationships between the human, animal, and plant elements present within each work. Chenlu Hou was born in Shandong, China, in 1989 and lives and works in Providence, RI. She received an M.A. in Decorative Art Design from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, China in 2016 and an MFA in Ceramic Art from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019. Her works have been included in exhibitions at Kristen Lorello, Yiri Arts, Taipei, Taiwan, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Houston, TX, and the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, Helena, Montana, among other venues.
