ShANG SIQI

CV

Shang Siqi graduated from the Printmaking Department of the China Academy of Art. Currently, he is situated in Hangzhou, China, where he focuses on painting, installation, and sculpture as his mediums of choice. His works have been collected by various private collectors and organizations, including his alma mater, the China Academy of Art.

Most of his pieces feature the color black alongside representations of different forms and shapes using different materials. For him, black acts as a starting and ending point, a catalyst for continuity, and a signifier of both the moment before the birth of life and the moment after its death. Shang is more concerned with new possibilities that come with the process of material experimentation as opposed to achieving the perfect final product.
