Qianxi Shang is an illustrator, printmaker, book artists. After graduated from School of Visual Arts (SVA) in 2023, she is currently pursuing a Master degree in University of Edinburgh. As an artist with rich interdisciplinary backgrounds, she love to
explore various art styles and philosophical themes.
Her artworks desire to reveal one’s inner world and extreme emotions. Most of her themes are related to unconscious thoughts and psychological issues, supported by philosophy or literature theories. Instead of directly expressing the darker side and horrifying scenes, I usually express them in a subtle, light, and whimsical way. In a formal aspect, I frequently use vibrant colors and unexpected combinations to give viewers strong visual experience. I am also fascinated with metaphysical art. I believe the melancholy and vacuum feeling is universal deep down everyone’s heart, and those can only can be expressed through the unexplainable metaphysical art.
