About this Episode

Salomé’s show “Oade to oathes” is now available on Custorian. Her exhibition was one of thirteen shown as a collaboration between GUTS gallery and Soft Punk magazine. During the final thirteen weeks of 2020, Salome’s show was displayed in the arch behind Haggerston station in London.
Salomé Wu (b. 1996, China) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice involves oil painting, printing on silk, installations, and performance. As a teenager, Salomé admired a teacher who encouraged her to pursue training in calligraphy and painting. Her work examines otherworldliness through translations and ever-evolving reinterpretations of a mythology, formed from her observation of time, fragility, and the interplay between reality and the unseen. Understanding herself primarily as a global citizen, Salomé works to keep her art devoid of contemporary models of identification and taxonomy, relying on obliquely biomorphic figures to populate her work. Across mediums, she presents a nonlinear journey, weaving together seemingly disparate moments to unveil previously concealed narratives. Salomé lives and works in London, UK.
"Within this practice, I am particularly drawn to instances of lamentation – I find much of my art bears a common expression of grief and sorrow." - Artist, Salomé Wu
