Fischmonger

Fischmonger is a contemporary visual artist hailing from China whose work explores the nuanced boundaries between tradition and modernity in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant street markets and urban waterways of her childhood, Fischmonger integrates elements of traditional Chinese ink painting with experimental digital media to build lush, multilayered compositions. Her art probes themes of migration, collective memory, and ecological change, often featuring surreal aquatic motifs that evoke both the bounty and fragility of life.

Educated at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and later based between Shanghai and Berlin, Fischmonger’s installations and mixed media works have been featured in exhibitions across Asia, Europe, and North America. Through a blend of personal symbolism and acute sociopolitical commentary, she invites viewers into immersive worlds that question what it means to sustain heritage while moving through the uncertainties of the present.
