Jing Xia is a Chinese Canadian artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation. She originally studied industrial design at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Canada) and Lund University (Sweden).

Her work grows from an intuitive, hands-on process rooted in curiosity, play, and the simple pleasure of creating. She explores fragmentation, transformation, and the shifting line between building and breaking down.

Xia’s practice unfolds through cycles of making, unmaking, and remaking—constructing forms, breaking them apart, and reassembling them in renewed configurations. During her residency at GlogauAIR, she has been developing chance-inspired works shaped directly by her surroundings and daily routines. She incorporates unpredictable elements such as overheard or misheard words, objects gathered on morning walks, and traces left by rain. These found elements function as prompts, guiding the work toward discovery rather than control and allowing intuition and circumstance to influence its evolution.

Through this approach, Xia embraces uncertainty as a generative force. Her works inhabit a space where forms shift, meanings wander, and possibilities emerge through free association and attentive observation. Visitors to her open studio are invited to a walk among chance poems, rain marks, and a makeshift forest.
