Chen Xi: A Rabbit's Tale, Gebunden

Klappentext

The first comprehensive international monograph on the renowned Chinese contemporary artist

>As Lü Peng writes in his foreword, Chen Xi's work revolves around memory, vulnerability, and identity in an era of rapid change. Her recurring motif of the rabbit---a figure born from literary influence and psychological reflection---embodies the tension between fragility and resilience. From the expressive canvases of her early years to the installation Lost, a monumental wooden sculpture created after the Covid-19 pandemic, Chen Xi continually interrogates the role of the individual within shifting cultural, historical, and technological landscapes.
Combining academic technique with conceptual depth, her practice reflects the broader transformation of Chinese society since the Reform era. This monograph offers a rare window into Chen Xi's singular voice and visual language---one that captures, with nuance and intensity, the evolving spirit of contemporary China.
