Jun Rui Lo (b. Hong Kong) is an artist and curator based between Leeds and Manchester. Approaching art as an emotional response, they make and curate with an interest in identity politics and the aesthetics of ambiguity. Rooted in their gender non-conformity and diasporic experience, Lo’s practice responds to the fluidity and rootlessness that arise from their refusal to be anchored to any fixed identity. Through their expanded-drawing and sculpture, Lo creates allegories from everyday made strange—queered, in every sense of the word.

Lo received a First-Class BA in Fine Art from the University of Leeds in 2024. Recent solo exhibitions include Ashes in Your Eyes (Haarlem Artspace, Derbyshire, 2025) and A Nostalgia Akin to Love (Village, Leeds, 2024). Selected two-person and group exhibitions include Swirling, Swirling (Threshold, Leeds, 2025), Moments That May Follow (Serf, Leeds, 2025), A Pocket Full of Plenty, (Hypha Gallery Netil House, London, 2025), Welcome to the UK (Ugly Duck, London, 2024), and Sacred Play Secret Place (East Street Arts Patrick Studios, Leeds, 2024).
