Qiming Sezava Sun
Qiming Sezava Sun is a Canadian visual artist and a practicing witch based in Saskatoon on Treaty 6 territory. Working cross-disciplinarily through painting, drawing, sculpture, land art installation, performance art, and jewelry crafting, Sun’s work draws inspiration from nature, animalistic paganism, and queer symbolism. Sun’s practices explore the intrinsic connection between the human body and Mother Nature, navigate the enigmatic and often misunderstood traditions of occult origins, and create theatrical compositions to visually narrate those forgotten mythos of dark intrigues. Sun received his Master of Fine Art and High Honours Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Saskatchewan.
