Jinyong Lian (b. Shenzhen, China) is an artist photographer and independent editor whose work explores psychological instability, interpersonal tension, and social control through metaphorical scenes and staged gestures. Drawing on her experiences as an Asian woman and queer, she examines alienation, rigid gender norms, and authority structures with a distinctive mix of humor, symbolism, and constructed imagery. Each photograph stands as an independent visual fable, inviting viewers to reflect on intimacy, subjectivity, and hidden societal pressures.
Lian’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Les Rencontres d’Arles (2025) with Fisheye Gallery, PhotoSaintGermain (2024) in Paris, and in China at Espace 1905 (Shenyang). She is the recipient of the Jeunes Talents 2025 Prize (Les Agents Associés) and was selected for the LensCulture Editor’s Pick in the same year.
Her debut artist book Trust Me (2025) was was published between Paris and New York, featured by Booooooom Magazine, and has been continuously presented at international art book fairs.
Lian earned her MFA from Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2024 and now lives and works in Paris.
