Qiu Xiaofei, Red, 2020, oil on linen, 200 cm × 300 cm (78-3/4" × 9' 10-1/8") © Qiu Xiaofei Qiu Xiaofei Details:b. 1977, Harbin, ChinaPace Publications: (opens in a new window) Shop Now Read More A representative figure among Chinese artists who emerged in the first decade of the 2000s, Qiu Xiaofei is committed to exploring new aesthetic, narrative, and affective possibilities through his painting practice. Informed by his upbringing and childhood home, where Soviet and Russian influences were acutely felt, Qiu investigated post-Socialist collective memory in his early career. His references range from colorful pictorials and architecture to ideological struggles and vernaculars—themes that resurfaced in his mature oeuvre as hallucinatory fragments. In the early 2010s, Qiu began experimenting with figuration and abstraction, citing and transforming an eclectic range of art historical references, including medieval altarpieces and manuscripts, socialist realism, modernists Paul Gauguin and James Ensor, and Chinese painters active during the tumultuous Modernist era, such as Jiang Zhaohe. Qiu’s distinctive and fantastical use of color, combined with powerful evocations of memory and emotion, both personal and universal, characterizes his unique artistic vision and trajectory. Often developing his works intuitively without premeditation, Qiu combines spontaneous gestures with fragments of figurative imagery, resulting in mesmerizing textual and narrative layers that constellate abstract gestures and symbolic references. Qiu employs various readymade objects to leave traces in his paintings, developing a process that responds to these traces and allows emerging forms to spur new choices.

The exhibition catalogue for Heilongjiang Box features nostalgic, autobiographical texts that reflect the artist's upbringing in Harbin, alongside playful and symbolically evocative objects—such as a marker and glass marbles—all housed within a cardboard box. The show was followed in 2009 by his solo exhibition Invisible Journeys at Doosan Art Center, Seoul, which featured sculptures, mixed-media installations, and oil paintings based on family snapshots and didactic photographs.

In 2013, Shanghai Minsheng Art Museum presented Qiu’s solo exhibition Repetition, followed by Rauschenberg Said, “The Walking Stick is Longer than the Maulstick, after All” held at Beijing Commune. Since joining Pace Gallery, Qiu has presented numerous exhibitions including Apollo Bangs Dionysus, Pace Gallery, Beijing (2014); Double Pendulum, Pace Gallery, New York (2016); Pine or Willow, Pace Gallery, Hong Kong (2017); Fade Out, Pace Gallery, Seoul (2018); and most recently, Divination held at the gallery’s New York location in 2021.
