Cui Jie

Cui has quickly asserted herself as one of the most exciting new voices of contemporary art in China thanks to her beautifully layered architectural paintings and sculptures. The works reflect her home country’s rise and rapid urbanization and intertwine organic elements like birds and human forms into futuristic structures, prefacing a more conscientious trajectory of growth in years to come. In 2016, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Amira Gad tapped her as part of “Hack Space,” an exhibition that traveled to the K11 Art Foundation’s spaces in both Hong Kong and Shanghai; her first-ever large-scale sculpture featured in “A Beautiful Disorder” at the U.K.’s Cass Sculpture Foundation; she had a solo show at mother’s tankstation in Dublin; and her paintings featured prominently in Shanghai gallery Leo Xu Projects’s booths at both West Bund Art & Design and Art Basel in Miami Beach. 2017 proves to be a further defining year for the 33-year-old artist. Among other shows, she will feature in “The New Normal,” a major survey of Chinese contemporary art at the Ullens Center of Contemporary Art this coming spring. Cui will also have solo show at Leo Xu Projects in winter 2017.
