Artist Statement
The artist Xi Qi relies on multi-colored, richly layered brushwork, to endow each painting subject
(whether still life, landscape or portrait) with the power to seduce. The artist
wryly observes the painting-subject, as well as the painting itself, as she transforms it
into a new “Art Object” for acquisition, a new “Thing” of the artist’s creation. Her
painting strategy is to deliberately magnify, then obscure, and finally glaringly expose
her carefully chosen subjects. Her technical prowess combines varied techniques in
complex compositions, where layers of paint aim to engage viewers in long
“conversations”.
