Meitao Qu is a visual artist based between London and Beijing. She holds an MFA from the Ruskin School of Art (2021), funded by the Oxford-Kaifeng Graduate Scholarship, and an MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art (2020). Recent exhibitions include ‘Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2022’, Ferens Art Gallery, Hull, and ‘Adventures in Fact’, The Residence Gallery, London, 2022.
Meitao’s practice is concerned with the production and circulation of images and the role they play in shaping discourses of gender, race, and nation. From costume to architecture, she is interested in how forms of visualisation operate as ‘props’ to stimulate imaginations. Traversing sculpture, installation, and moving image, her work brings together the material and the virtual to contemplate the fissures between ideologies and realities.
