Xiki is a New York-based artist who was born and raised in China. She graduated from the Fashion Design program at Parsons School of Design in 2020 after leaving the Masters in Curatorial Practice Program at School of Visual Arts. A self-taught artist, she has never formally pursued a fine arts education. First picking up a brush back in 2017, her practice synthesizes the complexities of contemporary culture. Xiki’s distinctive vision of the world, expresses the pop culture of today in an innovative yet simple abstract way. Dismantling the boundaries that seemingly divide Eastern and Western cultures, Xiki has developed a signature style of abstraction that connects with a wide audience. Her practice embraces bright vivid colors that contrast with one another to create dynamic illusions. Pop art and street culture intersect in a cohesive abstract form. Compositions that manipulate space and shape distill the intricacies of today’s culture into simple artistic visions that resonate with our contemporary society.
