Zhong Xian is an artist, freelance illustrator, animator and new People of Print Member based in Taipei. Studying in philosophy at university, most of her works focus on conveying emotions as well as including philosophy ideas and human experience in her illustration and animations. The sense of wildness, nature and pure are the features of her works, she also always put a sense of humour and irony in her works.
The majority of Xian’s work is short gif images with a short animation titled “EAR” being the first complete amination she made in 2017. This particular animation Xian tells us, focuses on conveying the true emotion.
The second aspect of Xian’s creative work is her illustrations. ‘The Things I Want to Say is…’ is her most recent project and features a series of illustrations interpreting human’s feeling while they are in a relationship. Our society can sometimes brand emotions such as anger, jealousy and insecurity as negative emotions which people shouldn’t show, however, it’s natural to feel this way. Through combining human features as symbols of animals and plants, Xian hopes to tell her audience that all we have been through and felt, are as natural as nature.
