Xixi Qian

Xixi Qian's art embodies a botanical punk world, reflecting punk's defiance of norms.

She explores societal rules through plants, symbolizing complexity and simplicity.

Focusing on second-tier Chinese cities, she examines social dynamics among generations. Using etching, she contrasts control in printmaking. Her string series envisions harmonious coexistence in her hometown's landscapes, addressing economic and cultural imbalances.

Commensalism
Abstract concepts can ignite boundless imagination within individuals. In this artwork, the artist delves into a world of mutual cooperation from a microscopic perspective. Drawing inspiration from the symbiotic relationship between leguminous plants and rhizobia, which enables nitrogen fixation, a harmonious and beneficial partnership, she creates a depiction of interconnectedness. The intention behind this painting is to portray a realm of interdependence and assistance.
