Ann Niu (牛安) is a contemporary Chinese artist, born in 1968 in Shanghai. She began her artistic journey early, studying calligraphy, seal engraving, and ink painting. Niu graduated from the Shanghai University Fine Arts Academy in 1987 and later earned a degree from Tokyo's Musashino Art University in 1995. Her international experiences, including time spent in Japan, Korea, and the United States, have deeply influenced her artistic perspective.
In 2000, Niu returned to Shanghai, where she established her studio and held her first solo exhibition at the Liu Haisu Art Museum. Her work is known for blending traditional Chinese ink techniques with contemporary abstraction, often exploring themes of love, identity, and cultural heritage. Niu's art has been showcased in numerous exhibitions across Asia, Europe, and the United States, and she has collaborated with brands like Adidas and Swire Group. Her pieces are featured in prestigious collections and institutions such as the Singapore National Art Museum and the HSBC Private Bank.
