Born in Beijing, China, 1999

Lives and works in London. 

 

The challenge of representing and tracing intangible memories is central to Qiyu Su's artistic inquiry. The enigmatic quality consistently persisted in her practice, resembling an intricate puzzle that demands interpretation. Within erasing traces of specific elements, bodies and movements became deconstructed, directed by emotions, and formed new motifs, transforming between figuration and abstraction.

In Qiyu Su's work, instantaneous is constantly emphasized. Things took place in the center of unknown time and space without precondition. It's a spotlight stage for emotion. Subject flows and looms, such a central but marginalized existence. Like written plays only stay on the rehearsal stage.
