Xinrou Wu (b. 2002, Jiangsu, China) is an artist currently based in London. She holds a BA in Public Art from East China Normal University and is currently pursuing an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art.

Her practice spans painting and sculpture, through which she explores the intersection of memory, emotion, and the body. Working across oil on canvas, wood, bronze, and ceramics, she is particularly interested in how different materials carry distinct emotional and cultural resonances, often embedding narratives of tension, fragility, and latent violence.

Xinrou’s work is informed by a poetic and literary sensibility. Drawing from fragments of personal memory, reading, and writing, she constructs images and forms that hover between the intimate and the ambiguous. Her practice navigates the space between emotional immediacy and conceptual reflection, allowing moments of subjective experience to unfold into broader, yet unresolved, narrative structures.
