Artist Spotlight: Yiwei Xu

A selection of work by London-based Chinese artist Yiwei Xu. Drawing from observation, memories and poems, Xu is interested in the boundaries between the real world and the inner world or, rather, the absence of any such boundary and the possibility that our entire experience of life is a dream. Mysterious and subtle, bizarre yet realistic, Xu’s use of mixed media creates worlds of harmony and conflict. Check out more of Xu’s work below.
