丘國強（1988年，香港）目前在香港生活和工作。2012 年畢業於香港理工大學設計學院，主修視覺傳意設計。其創作關注自身與周遭環境的各種斷裂關係，將古代神話、歷史事件及日常不過的事物串連，並不斷刻劃和反覆撫平作品上的痕跡，使物件與自身的連結淡化，轉化為繪畫、流動影像及裝置作品，以不同形式呈現平靜而不安的抽離感。作品曾在多個藝術機構展出，包括 《失憶之勢》（Current Plans，2024）、《Made in Hong Kong》（Art Central，2022）、《還有陽光》（SC Gallery，2022）、《請試著以雙手摘霧》(Gallery Exit，2021)、《居住的幅度：房子是》(賽馬會創意藝術中心，2020)、《細菌培育室》(香港醫學博物館，2019)、《你在煩惱什麼》（chi K11 藝術空間，2016）和《過去式》(奧沙畫廊，2013)。
