张真瑜是一位常驻纽约的华裔艺术家，以绘画、绘图和行为艺术为媒介创作。她拥有加州艺术学院的美术学士学位，目前正在纽约市帕森斯设计学院攻读艺术硕士学位。她的作品呈现了与移民和文化遗忘相关的叙事。

张真瑜的作品中，她对自己所面对的世界的“所谓偏见”充当了她思想的过滤器。尽管她通过艺术创作处理这些思想，但在不断演变的筛选过程中仍有未解决的滞留的情感和未处理的问题。她承认，在她矛盾的世界里，被筛选掉的事物和思想并非没有其价值。她如白纸一般的度过生活的先入之见并不总是在当下引导她走向所谓正确的道路。通过持续的自我反思，她创造了自己精神上的价值体系。

张真瑜的作品自传性强，经常引用她的东方出生背景和文化。然而，自青少年时期起她就沉浸在西方文化中。尽管如此，她避免偏向任何意识形态。这种公正的世界观和价值观是由她体验文化差异的经历所塑造的。然而，选择中间立场使她在对立的文化观念之间处于孤立状态。她的作品模糊了现实与虚构的界限，融合了实时空间的线索来创造。

Zhenyu Zhang is a New York-based Chinese-born artist who works in drawing, painting, and performing art. She holds a BFA from California College of the Arts and is pursuing an MFA at Parsons School of Design in New York City. Her work materializes narratives associated with migration and cultural amnesia.

Zhang’s conceptual works act as the filter to her mind that is the vessel; despite processing these things through art making, residual unresolved sentiments remain in the sieve that constantly evolves. She admits that her ambivalent world’s unsifted things and thoughts are not without their merits. The predispositions she rushed through life with did not always lead to the right path in the given moment. Through continuous introspection, she has created her own set of values.

Zhang’s autobiographical work often references her eastern birth and cultural background. But immersed in a Western culture since adolescence, she considers herself Westernized. Nonetheless, she abstains from leaning towards any ideology. Her experience of cultural differences shapes this impartial approach to a worldly outlook on life and values. Yet, choosing the middle ground isolates her between opposing cultural ideas. Blurring reality and fiction, her projects blend cues of the real time space to create.
