BurniGRay (Jingru Ao) is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher currently pursuing a PhD in Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art, having previously graduated from the Royal College of Art.
Working across moving image, installation, painting, and performance, her practice explores temporality, memory, and the relationship between perception and lived experience. Through experimental approaches to moving images and spatial arrangements, she investigates how time can be fragmented, layered, and experienced beyond linear structures. Her work questions established understandings of space and time, examining how individual memories, subjective perceptions, and encounters with others shape our experiences of reality.
Her work has been exhibited at M P Birla Millennium Gallery, Safehouse 2, and Ugly Duck in London; York Art Gallery in York; Shang Art Museum in Hangzhou; and Alittle in Chengdu. She was shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2025.
