Jocelyn Tsui is an artist and printmaker born and raised in Hong Kong, where she describes how, “growing up in a city where everyone moves body-to-body, it was perhaps inevitable that I felt the pressure push me into flatness.”
Largely inspired by architecture, mathematics, and algorithmic design, Tsui's practice is founded on precision, repetition, and sequencing; printmaking allows her to assert control over the grid motif, in (in)visible and (in)tangible spaces. However, it is through the expansion of print into interactive installation, sculpture, artist-books, and video that her work evolves into riddle-like abstractions that reveal entropic disruptions from within the grid. Overall, Tsui’s work aims to recognize manmade structures of organization but simultaneously the world’s natural affinity for disorder, and thereby encompass the messy beauty of humanness of it all.
Jocelyn received her BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design, and has been an artist-in-residence at Kala Art Institute, In Cahoots Press, and Directangle Press and has exhibited in shows including at The National Arts Club, NY (2024), A.I.R. Gallery, NY (2025), and Athens Printmaking Art Center, GR (2025). She is currently completing her MFA in Painting / Printmaking at Yale University.
