MIAO | THE FUTURIST AND TIME TRAVELLER
MIAO (b. 1995, China) is a pioneering London-based ceramic artist redefining ceramics as a medium for exploring time and narrative. He merges material experimentation with conceptual depth, transforming ceramics into vessels that bridge past and future
MIAO’s work is imbued with paradox and tension: conceptually, it is radical and futuristic; yet in practice, it remains meditative, intimate, and distinctly tactile. His exploration of ceramics extends far beyond traditional boundaries, treating it as a site for material experimentation and yielding works that resemble relics of an imagined future. His practice is an excavation of time - not only an archaeology of the past but a projection into the future. At the forefront of material experimentation, he seamlessly integrates algorithmic aesthetics, speculative archaeology, and post humanist philosophy, probing the delicate boundaries between permanence, decay, and existence in an era of technological transformation.
