Theo 萧世通

Theo Schweiger萧世通 (b. 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist from Shanghai and San Francisco, currently living in Chicago. His focus is on painting, drawing, and photography, working primarily with figure and experience to explore the basis of subjective reality: perspective, emotion, reflection, unconscious, and time.

Tormented by forgotten moments and intangible figures, Theo 萧世通 works tirelessly to preserve what he can of the past while exploring the nuances of life in the present. His artwork emphasizes the fleeting and malleable nature of existence by embracing the unforgiving, cyclical relationship between imagination, hope, and memory.
