MUSEC - Museo delle Culture in Lugano presents A Rabbit's Tale, the first major solo exhibition in Europe of Chinese artist Chen Xi.
The exhibition, conceived and produced by Skira and MUSEC, traces the stylistic and conceptual evolution of one of the most interesting artists on the contemporary Chinese scene and does so through more than sixty works from the 1990s to the present, from international public and private collections.
An artist deeply rooted in the history of contemporary China, Chen Xi (Xinjiang, 1968) combines individual narrative and collective memory through a visual language marked by a symbolist vein that moves between painting and installation. Her focus is on the condition of the individual (often depicted allegorically in the form of a rabbit), who, immersed in the reality of his own time, seeks to understand and express it through art.
In particular, Chen Xi's work is presented as a psychological reflection on the change in Chinese society since the Economic Reforms of 1978, while also offering a personal and feminine view of the contemporary world, characterized by a lucid and critical analysis of daily life, work, family and traditional values.
