The work of Chenxi Xu across the registers of fine and decorative arts without privileging one over the other. What it always at the forefront is the employment of the power of intuition within the free play of forms and mediums. Her practice moves across painting, graphics, jewellery, photography and performance that assembles concerns for colour, gesture, mood, seriality and inscription processes. It is an art that occasions a sense within the presentations a feeling of flowing and hovering connected to different temporalities. Thus fast, slow, relaxation, intensification, tone, rhythm, gaps, leaps, folds all serve to create various signifying chains. Alongside the reiteration of forms, is a performative principle is advanced within the overall aesthetic. This principle is related to a sense of journey undertaken and gestures released. It is a vision of the world that has both ancient origins that also captures a post-contemporary sensibility. The feeling of mobility which is coupled with the introduction of revolving imaginative vistas comes to the fore within this post- medium practice. What we are witness to is an art that travels easily within in its distinct registers, journeying inside and outside with equal measure, expanding and contracting spaces and floating within the process of becoming.
