Lives and works in London and Shanghai.

Xinghao Liang is a London-based artist and member of the experimental collective "Successful Artists." Initially grounded in painting, Liang’s practice has evolved to encompass a diverse range of media, including installation, performance, monolithic art, graphic design, music, and video. His work explores the intersections of digital technology with biology, spirituality, and politics, investigating themes of post-humanism, empathy, and evolutionary theory. Liang’s art invites audiences to consider the nuances of human experience amid rapid technological transformation.
