Leah Xuanru Wang (b. 2000, Jingdezhen, China) graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Film Production from the University for the Creative Arts, UK in 2023, and received her Master Degree in Arts & Humanities from the Royal College of Art, UK in 2024. Currently based in London, she primarily focuses on painting.

Xuanru seeks to express the human experience of love and pathos through her painting practice. She is deeply inspired by Aby Warburg's concept of the "Pathosformel" (Pathos Formula), described as "a paradigm for expressing primitive, irrational, suffering, and passion-related life states." Her creative inspiration stems predominantly from historical films, classical painting, and literary texts. Her painting practice, akin to archaeology within art history, reaffirms humanity's timeless pathos-laden memories.
