Introducing Jingshan Ding
Jingshan Ding is a London-based artist trained in Biology at Imperial College London and Fine Art at University of the Arts London.
Her interdisciplinary background places the iteration of life at the core of her painting practice. She approaches painting not as depiction, but as a living process through which she reimagines and experiences continual transformation. Through repeated cycles of building, scraping, and reapplying paint, meticulous textures resembling fingerprints, scars, and organic surfaces gradually emerge. Her practice explores how painting can embody processes of renewal, persistence, and change.
Jingshan has been shortlisted for the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award 2025 at the National Portrait Gallery and the Winsor & Newton x Paul Smith Foundation Art Prize, and was selected for the Grand Union Gallery x Bruntwood Residency in 2025. She has exhibited internationally at Apsara Studio (Burgundy), Purist Gallery (London), Royal Watercolour Society, SUHE HAUS (Shanghai), 13B Gallery (Seoul), and BayArt (Cardiff).
