Statement
Suyi Xu’s recent works unfold a series of gridded planes, opening a study on perspective in which shapes and forms emerge from hazy mists like afterimages. She enacts the ritual of architecture, yet discards the integrity of architectural form in the process of making—horizon vanishes, perspective spins, interior folds inward, and spatial relations are obscured by sudden burst of light. The undoing stems from a desire to reach a state prior to reason and the conscious mind. Her fascination with the void in the center of the canvas is informed by Simone Weil’s spiritual philosophy of undoing the self.
