Shi Qi, a Paris-based female artist whose art seeks to reveal poetic relationships. After studying at the Department of Experimental Painting at Chinese Academy of Art in Hangzhou (1997-2001), Shi moved to France in 2002, where she continued her training in new media and video at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris-Cergy (2002-2005).
Her typical artistic style has developed since 2020. Three-dimensional paintings created from rice paper painted with ink or colour. The paper is then folded and mounted on canvas. The shapes represented are reminiscent of calligraphic or pictorial fragments. These folded objects, similar to books, represent a kind of diary, and the movement, rhythm and colours translate the mood of a moment or the atmosphere of a situation.
