Introduction

“Picnic / 2” resonates with the Abstract Expressionist wave from the 1950s New York School. It’s a vivid display of emotional brushwork and color, where spontaneity and primal aesthetics take center stage. The painting defies clear form, inviting a deep, introspective gaze into the layers of abstract shapes—a raw, improvised soul experiment that reflects a historical tension between the valorization of mind over body.

Shangmei Xizhou

As an outstanding young artist, she captivates with her unique artistic approach. Beyond her talent, her deep immersion in art and boundless creativity shine brightly. Her works harmoniously blend tradition with modernity, resonating with contemporary vibrancy. Each piece is a poetic narrative, inviting viewers to immerse in its beauty and reflect. As an emerging talent in the art world, her works testify to her unique perspective on life.

She describes her creative style as “Restrained Revelry,” a dialectic of contradiction and unity inspired by the 1950s New York School’s Abstract Expressionism. Her work, blending action painting with emotional value, emphasizes narrative in painting and multidimensional warmth. Deeply influenced by philosophical and religious attitudes towards physicality and beauty, her series “PICNIC” reflects defiance of societal constraints on the body and soul. She integrates her knowledge of Chinese traditional art with a global perspective, using bodily language in her works to challenge moral perceptions and celebrate feminine muses and human nature.
