Mix Media, Installation
3D Art
Zishi Tu(Yuxi Chen) is a London-based Installation Artist and 3D Artist. Her practice explores the construction of imaginary worlds through cuteness, mythology, play, and dark fantasy. Working across interactive installation, pen plotter painting, visual games, animation, and 3D digital media, she creates characters and environments that exist between tenderness and unease.
Her work centres on the idea of building a “Second world” through cute characters. These figures inhabit strange, playful, and sometimes unsettling spaces, inviting audiences to enter a world where softness becomes powerful, and cuteness becomes a language for storytelling, transformation, and resistance.
Her mechanical and digital works have been presented at the V&A Digital Design Weekend, the British Embassy in Paris, Strait Culture Art Center in Fuzhou.
