Artistic Style and Work

is a multidisciplinary artist who creates unique sculptures that feature hormones, bacteria, and fungi with the aim of exploring and challenging the concepts of identity and biology. In a review of Jes Fan's work, contemporary art periodical Artforum states: "Above all, (Fan's) sculptures were promiscuously biomorphic, resembling molecules, organs, orifices, skin, bodies of all kins--wringling forms of life that refuse any single definition." Jes Fan has been featured in an ongoing series of short interviews for PBS's Art21 in their New York Closeup series. In the second short following Jes Fan, titled “Infectious Beauty”, Art21 followed the artist in the production of their sculpture for the 2019 Socrates Sculpture Biennial, ‘what eye no see, no can do’, a series of interconnecting metal rods and slumping fiberglass bodies.
