About
Why this artist matters now
Xinyi Cheng paints intimate portraits of friends and acquaintances drawn from her immediate social circle, capturing moments of everyday interaction and shared memory. Working in figuration, she treats portraiture as a record of personal relationship rather than formal likeness. Based in Paris, her practice centers on the quiet density of ordinary encounters transformed through paint.
