Born in Anhui, China in 1981, Xia Yu graduated from the Third Studio of the Oil Painting
Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2004. He currently works and lives in
Beijing. Xia Yu's Tempera creation techniques coexist with the exploration of form. Those
memories of parental love, deep brother-sister affection, intimacy and youthful sorrow have
gradually transformed into an illustrated guide to urban life in the current tense in recent
years, enriching The familiar life scenes that make people feel full of immersion. The people in
the painting are constantly wandering between home and company, city and nature, seamlessly
connecting between housework and work, daze and entertainment, switching between different
identities and roles in the transition of living space. Modern people seem to have a variety of
choices, but it seems that it is no longer possible to have the refuge and spiritual privacy of the
ancients. Life has never become so rich and limited, standard and tiring. Major solo exhibitions:
2021 Xia Yu: Here and Now, Hive Contemporary Art Center, Beijing; 2019 Xia Yu: Subjunctive
Mood, Hive Contemporary Art Center, Shenzhen; 2017 Xia Yu: Orchard, Hive Contemporary Art
Center, Beijing.
