The Bedroom of Xiaoling Xu Installation

Based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, I am a Painter, Photographer, Printmaker and Installation artist. My work explores a variety of different issues surrounding the human being including social class, human behaviour, identity and disease. Primarily a painter, works range from focusing on various environments and the interaction of life in its surroundings to replicating images of nerve cells in an exploration of the damage caused by Parkinson's disease. I like to focus on portraits of family and friends. The concept of social class interests me and I like to explore how the place of work, lifestyle or interests can categorise people into a particular hierarchical social category.
