Xie Chengxuan, born in 1997 in Guangzhou, China, graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2020, and completed a Master’s degree in Painting at the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom in 2023. He primarily works with acrylic and mixed media on synthetic papers and canvases. 

His current artistic approach is based on deconstructionism, where he deconstructs objects into their most basic visual language and then reassembles them. By taking into account the different understandings of object names due to varying personal growth and cultural experiences, the reassembled images have different interpretations when viewed by different people. This also allows the independent basic visual elements (points, lines, shapes, color blocks, textures, etc.) to continue to interact and communicate even in the finished artwork.

Opening reception: 6 September, 2-6pm
