Xuanxuan Xie, born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province in 1992, obtained her bachelor’s degree (BA in fashion design) and master’s degree (Department of Oil Painting) from China Academy of Art. During the period of postgraduate study, she went to Cité internationale des arts de Paris for exchange and study. She is now living and working in Hangzhou. Her works are closely related to childhood memories, folk games, Greek mythology and fairy tales. She uses witty and mixed elements to depict daily wonders. Things in 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 (EastGallery, Nanjing, 2021). Group exhibitions include: 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.
