Shi Qi, born in 1978 in Wenzhou, China, a Paris-based woman artist whose art seeks to reveal poetic relationships. After studying at Department of Experimental Painting at Chinese Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou (1997-2001), Shi Qi moved to France in 2002, where she continued her training in new media and video at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris-Cergy. (2002-2005).
Her typical artistic style starting from 2020. A three-dimensional paintings created from rice paper that has painted with ink or colour. The wallpaper is then folded and mounted on canvas. The shapes represented are reminiscent of calligraphic or pictorial fragments. These folded objects, similar to books, represent a kind of diary, and the movement, rhythm and colours translate the mood of a moment or the atmosphere of a situation.
In 2025,
Tradition Transformed marks the gallery's first collaboration with Shi Qi. Her solo exhibition is concurrently on view at ICIClE Cultural Space in Paris.
