More About Xiao He

Question IconWhat inspires you?

Being a woman artist from China living in the U.S.A., my life experiences inform my art practice which revolves around juxtapositions and encounters. Mostly, exploring the relationship between the body and the space, in my paintings, organic, body-like shapes inhabit worlds made of geometric architectures.

Question IconWhat are 3 words that best describe your work?

vivd, fluid, flat

Question IconWho are some artists that have influenced your work?

The vivid palette derived from the French Fauvist Henri Matisse coexists on my canvas with the multi-perspective geometries inspired by the New Zealand Cubism artist Louise Henderson, pushing the boundaries of western art history and exploring new aesthetics.
