Darius Chang Jui-Yu

About

Darius Chang Jui-Yu is a Taiwanese artist and recent graduate of the Goldsmiths BA Fine Art degree. Having lived in over 10 cities in 5 different countries since childhood, Darius is greatly influenced by her experiences of different cultures and her place within them. Responding specifically to her current London contemporary and street art scene, Darius has recently been exploring her Chinese racial identity through remixing culture with mixed media. For her First Step showcase Darius will be re-working the stereotypical cultural references associated with karaoke bars. Darius enjoys art that can ‘brighten up the viewer's day' — often weaving together psychedelic imagery, immersive sound experiences and bold graphics. A clash of cultures will sit within our first step stairwell, readdressing what we consider to be a true multicultural life style. Let's see what happens when cocktail glasses meet green tea! Darius has worked across the fine art, design and commercial photographic industry and is currently living and working in London. The First Step showcase will be her first solo show in the UK.
