Yingqi Guan / Guan Guan (b.1997) is a London-based artist and contemporary jewellery curator whose practice encompasses sculpture, installation, performance art, and contemporary jewellery. Her work is distinguished by its critical narratives and visual tension, often delving into social, corporeal, cultural, and feminist themes through meticulous craftsmanship, dark humour, and monumental scales.
She possesses a keen ability to observe everyday objects, reinterpreting them into a unique visual language that results in dramatic, exaggerated forms. In 2022, Guan earned her Master's degree from the Royal College of Art's Jewellery & Metal programme. The following year, she established her London-based studio, "eye 爱 I". Her creative philosophy centres on three core concepts: eye (observation), love (emotion), and I (subjective consciousness). Through sculpture, installation, and contemporary jewellery, she continues to engage with the modern era, offering critical reflection and cultural commentary.
