Thomas Liu Le Lann

Thomas Liu Le Lann (b. 1994, lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on attempting to invalidate masculinity and highlight the progressive characteristics of softness, fragility and passivity. He represents both his fiancé’s and his own uncertain body and gender through sculptural works, paintings and autofiction poems. In his recent work, the artist has introduced the figure of the «soft hero» which seeks to support the deconstruction of the dominant heroic model and its bulky representations. Liu Le Lann is also co-founder and curator of Cherish, a Geneva-based project-space, in collaboration with Ser Serpas, Mohamed Almusibli and James Bantone.
