Shen Shaomin nasce nel 1956 nella Provincia di Heilongjiang, Cina. Shaomin studia l’esplicita brutalità della natura umana attraverso i suoi lavori multimediali. La sua ricerca artistica comprende la realizzazione di sculture cinetiche sperimentali composte da ossa di animali e nate dal conflitto tra l’artista e l’Antropocene. Tali opere vogliono rappresentare le conseguenze del desiderio umano e l’artificialità.
La ricerca continua con lavori in resina dove Shaomin, sceglie di produrre figure umane e di animali: ciò conduce l’osservatore a una riflessione tra il reale e l’immaginario. Tra i lavori più recenti vi sono quelli della serie Handle With Care, dove l’artista riproduce su tela, con la tecnica trompe l’oeil, imballaggi di pluriball che sembrano avvolgere celebri opere dell’arte moderna. Questa serie nasce dagli studi di Shaomin sul maggiore esponente della Pop Art americana, Andy Warhol, il quale era solito lavorare sulle sue opere seguendo un processo industriale. Nel 2012 apre il suo studio di Pechino a giovani artisti australiani con l’intento di promuovere un miglior rapporto di scambio culturale e artistico tra la Cina e l’Australia.
Sono numerose le mostre personali a lui Shen Shaomin e altrettante le collettive a cui ha partecipato. Le sue opere sono in numerose collezioni pubbliche e museali internazionali. Shen Shaomin vive e lavora tra Sidney e Pechino.
