Catalogue Note:
Elegant girl, fresh fruit and flower are main themes of Xia's creation. The themes depicting of these life scenes also showed Xia's positive and optimistic life attitude and her care of human and nature. Eight years of college education has laid a good foundation for her painting career. From the personality constitution of the painting to unique grasp of the material, from overall layout to detail description, she seems handy and free in paintings. Especially her strong image control ability often surprised people.
The style of painting mirrors the painter herself. Xia's work is filled with youth, romance, passion and naivety. Between thick and thin, cold and warm, touch and paint, spread and smear, penetrate her love to life and her passion to nature. Creative emotional transfer between knives, pens, materials and canvas, and this is also Xia's unique creative style. The thickness or thinness of paint, the coarseness or fineness of texture, the touch, paint, spread and smear of the paintbrush are all based on their own characteristics, and convert to the means of spiritual expression. Those totally casual touch, spread and smear magically emit the fantastic brilliance on the painting. Sparkling black and white between lead gray color constitute a mysterious shadow order which only exist in her painting. Perfect combination of local abstract and expression with overall realism has run through Xia's creation over the past few years, which is also important reason why her work has unique personality. As Xia's work itself, she is more concerned about the expression of painting language and the transmission of emotion between paintbrush and materials. There is no social criticism, nor concept intervention, and keeping the purity of painting is her biggest feature in paintings
