Chen Xingye’s practice often incorporates symbols from popular culture. Drawing on his personal memories, Chen traces cultural and sensory experiences to generate new possibilities at the intersection of the imagined and the real. The result is a series of ambiguous figures, suspended outside of space and time, navigating the elusive boundary between the inner world and tangible materiality.
