Clover Xuesong Zhou

Clover Xuesong Zhou is an artist, writer, and theologian whose work explores the relationships between form, perception, language, and infinity. Working across sculpture, painting, and writing, she develops systems that are at once materially grounded and conceptually open-ended.

Her current practice centers on Infinity Series, an ongoing body of paintings and suspended sculptures generated through variations of the infinity loop. Drawing from the logic of the Möbius loop, Zhou uses repetition, rotation, color, and transformation to investigate how seemingly finite forms can contain inexhaustible possibilities. Her work considers the places where oppositions—inside and outside, beginning and end, unity and multiplicity, old and new—begin to dissolve.

Zhou holds an M.A. in Fine Art from Dalian Polytechnic University and an M.A. in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. Before returning to studio practice, she worked as an art writer, editor, and critic in China, contributing to publications including Artforum China, The Art Newspaper China, and Artron, and to the Oxford Handbook of the Bible in China. In 2020, Zhou collaborated with Bridge Projects in Los Angeles on A Composite Leviathan, serving as the online curator of its public educational programs.

Her interdisciplinary practice continues to move between art, theology, and critical writing, asking how material forms might make visible the paradoxes embedded in perception, time, language, and reality.
