SHI JIAYUN
​

Biography / Selected Works / Exhibitions / Related News
​
Shi Jiayun, born in Chongqing, China in 1992, now lives and works in Shanghai. She received BFA from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2014 and MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York in 2019. The works of Shi mark the diversion and diversification of painted images that become visible in the illusionary representational reality. Regardless of the uncertainty of her subject as an image, an object, or pure imagination, Shi composes in a restrained and introverted way that is in relation to forms beyond her immediate experiences. The most intriguing part may be the imminent impulsions embedded in her works as they manifest a feeling of liberation while constituting a constant process of emotional adjustment, control, and judgment, disturbing the visual fields between recognition, understanding and perception, lying somewhere in between. Recent solo exhibitions include: Duo Project with Ni Hao, Gallery Vacancy at Frieze London, 2023; Wanderlust, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2023; Frames Without Rims, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2019. Recent group exhibitions include: Between Being and Becoming, Lisson Gallery, Shanghai, 2023; Up in the Air, Spurs Gallery, Beijing, 2023; Watch the Fire from the Shore, LINSEED Projects, Shanghai, 2021; I-Define, A Thousand Plateaus Art Space, Chengdu, 2020; Force Majeure, curated by Lu Mingjun, Eli Klein Gallery, 2020; and Condo Shanghai 2019, Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2019.
