Jenny Jia Li Van Ratingen
Biography
Jenny van Ratingen is a multimedia artist, primarily working with painting and sculpture. Her practice delves into themes from the Everyday, the complexities of intergenerational conflicts and the laborious dynamics found within the home. Drawing from her own Everyday interactions and Chinese-Australian culture, Jenny attempts to explore the ways familial dynamics are inherited and found in domestic life.
Ultimately, through the exploration of artistic labour, imagery and text, Jenny expresses the intersection between shared and personal experience; offering moments of intimacy to the audience within our seemingly mundane, everyday interactions.
Jenny grew up in South East Asia and currently lives and works in Sydney, Australia.
