Lotus Che (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada. Their work explores the intersections of the shadow self, healing, and the 5th dimension, translating energy into physical form through a raw, visceral, and deeply vulnerable visual language.
Working across drawing, painting, sculpture, textiles, photography, and performance, Che’s practice is an evolving dialogue between the material and the metaphysical, confronting the unconscious, intergenerational trauma, and the liminal spaces between worlds. Their work often blurs the boundaries between abstraction and representation, inviting the viewer into an intimate exploration of selfhood, memory, and transformation.
“This work is an invocation, a passage between worlds - where the seen and unseen fold into one another. The shadow self, that hidden twin, lingers beneath the surface within us all. I pull the threads at its edges, unearth its voice, ask it to speak as an act of repair, a reckoning with what’s been carried - grief, memory, the weight of our ancestors’ wounds. But also: laughter, absurdity, play - the unexpected ways we survive. This practice is my exorcism and my offering. A hand extended - not to draw us deeper into darkness but to walk together through it - to a place where healing begins.”
As a curator, Che extends their artistic vision into immersive, experiential exhibitions that encourage self-reflection and challenge traditional modes of engagement with art. Their curatorial approach is schematic and intuitive, creating spaces where viewers are not just passive observers but active participants in their own journeys of contemplation and self-actualization.
Che has worked internationally with exhibitions in Toronto, Canada and Mexico City and has participated in artist residencies in Porto, Portugal and Los Angeles, California with Jeffrey Detich. Che olds a Bachelor of Design from Toronto Metropolitan University. Their work continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression while deepening their commitment to expanding consciousness, spiritual metamorphosis, and collective healing.
