Biography

Jonathan Liu is a visual artist and adjunct lecturer working and experimenting with photography. He is interested in the way our process of recollection deteriorates, decays and disappears over time. His work explores the evolving relationship between the Human and the Nonhuman, as well as to dissolve and entangle the boundaries between objective photographic forms and subjective experiences. He is also a founding member of NFT Asia - an artist-led non-profit digital collective aimed at uplifting Asian artists within the Web 3.0 Space.

Through experimentation with machine learning and manipulating various forms of photographic mediums, he questions and challenges photography's materiality and its relationship with technology. With his fragmentation of the landscape, Jonathan aims to represent the fallibility of the process of recollection as well as the search for the romantic sublime within.

His work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom, Norway, United Arab Emirates, China, Japan and Singapore. He holds a MA in Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts (awarded by Goldsmiths, University of London) as well as a BA(Hons) in Photography from London College of Communication (University of Arts, London). He is the recipient of the NAC Arts Scholarship in 2023.
