SUYI XU

Suyi Xu is an artist who currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Xu earned her B.A. in Art History and Visual Arts from Barnard College (New York) and her M.F.A. in the Fine Arts Department of the School of Visual Arts (New York) in 2022. Xu's paintings are meditations on space, interiors, and architecture that morph into meditations on light and color fields. By interjecting historical references and idiosyncratic symbolic elements, she addresses the idealism and authorship of art historical narratives. Xu's work has been exhibited in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including the solo exhibition All that is Solid Melts into Air (Fou Gallery, New York, 2022), group exhibitions at Fortnight Institute (New York, 2023), Parent Company Gallery (New York, 2023), LATITUDE Gallery (New York, 2023), Gallery Func (Shanghai, 2023), Galerie Hussenot (Paris, 2022), New Collectors Gallery (New York, 2021), and A.I.R. Gallery (New York, 2021). Her works are included in the public collections of Powerlong Museum (Shanghai), Xiao Museum of Contemporary Art (Rizhao, China), and Long Museum (Shanghai)
