Shenghao Mi (b. 1996, Shanghai, China) is a painter whose work reinterprets traditional icons of his cultural heritage through fragmented and blurred brushstrokes. His compositions create a dual reality—simultaneously playful and tense—where each image serves as a fragment of a larger discourse on contemporary society. By revisiting tradition and exploring visions of a globalized future, Shenghao Mi challenges the overwhelming influx of indistinguishable information in the high-definition era, embracing a deliberate “low-fidelity” aesthetic.
Shenghao Mi has exhibited internationally, with notable presentations including “Enter Art Fair” (Copenhagen, 2023) and “Someone is in my house” (Suburbia Contemporary, Barcelona, 2022). His works have also featured in group exhibitions such as “Insideart. 14th Edition” (Museo della Mura, Rome, 2021), “Vivid Dimensions” (Galerie Ovo, 2021), and “Pause, tra caos e armonia” (Palazzo Chigi, Rome, 2018).
Among his accolades, Shenghao Mi was awarded the Talent Prize 2021 by Fondazione Cultura e Arte, recognizing his contribution as an international artist.
