Xie Xuanxuan

 

b. 1992, Wenzhou, China

Lives and works in Hangzhou, China

 

Xie Xuanxuan’s works are closely related to childhood memories, folk games, Greek mythology, and fairy tales. She uses witty and mixed elements to depict daily wonders. Tin her paintings often lie somewhere between the real and the virtual, and her works are full of anthropomorphic and contradictory characters. In her reflection on the real world, she restores the forgotten “paradise” in her memory with her unique painting language, thus creating a warm and romantic world full of childlike innocence and fantasy. 

 

Her recent solo exhibitions include “Bathed in the Sun” (Inna Art Space, Hangzhou, 2022) and “An Apple from Heavens” (East Gallery, Nanjing, 2021). Group exhibitions include “The Traces of Light” (Tang Contemporary Art, Beijing, 2023), “My Generation! The Art of Post-90s” (Shanxi Contemporary Art Museum, Shanxi, 2023), “MILLE CORTEX” (Tang Contemporary Art, Hong Kong, 2023), “A Marvellous Memory” (Shanghai Jiushi Art Museum, Shanghai, 2022), “Pigeon Superstition” (O2ART, Beijing, 2022), “Paradise” (Cub_ism_ Artspace, Shanghai, 2021), “New West Lake” (MoCA Shanghai, Shanghai, 2021), “Autumn 2021” (KWM Art Center, Beijing, 2021), etc.
