Xu Bangte is an artist and photographer with a special interest in the relationship of photography to social change, exploration of masculinity and urban settings. A recurrent theme in his work is the exploration of masculinity: making a positive way to oppose the label of what being masculinity is. We live in an age, where we should not have those labels or have those restrictions. 

He has born and raised in China and he holds a BAP from London College of Communication, University of the Arts London in 2021. Currently living in Shanghai and London, his work has been included in exhibitions at The Holy Art, London(2021), A60 Contemporary Art Space, Milan(2021) and UAL Graduate Showcase 2021, London(2021), also his work published in the print edition and online magazine, including in Iconic Artist Magazine, Europe (2019); Schön Magazine, London (2020) and PhotoVogue, Italia.
