Under 30s Award

Léa Chen has been awarded the Under 30s IPE Award for her series The Stars That Don't Look Back.

Léa Chen is a Taiwanese artist who is currently based in London. Focusing on the female perspective, her work explores themes of self-identity, memory, and trauma through personal experience.

Often seeking inspiration in nature, Chen’s work further investigates the intimate bond between humans and the land, while challenging social and cultural issues that are often left unspoken in society.

On receiving the Under 30s IPE Award Léa Chen said:

“I feel deeply grateful to receive this award. The RPS’s supportive and inspiring community has helped my work reach and be appreciated by a wider audience, which is more than I could have dreamed of. I am truly excited to see where this award will lead me, and how it will continue to fuel my creative journey.”
