Tianxing Xu (b. 1996, Shanghai, China), a visual artist, earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from East China Normal University in 2018.Exchange visited Pratt Institute in 2016. Xu graduated with a MFA degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design and holds a solo exhibition there in 2023. His work has been the subject of several exhibitions in the Southeast.
Xu presents a collection of paintings, prints, installations, and artist’s books that serve as building plans for an imagined amusement park. Hidden inside the work is a mixture of over-burnt memories and stories stolen from others. From imitating that ideal in my mind, he reconstructs and simulates a story that never happened by dismantling the elements that comprise the meaning of the park. They are the pages ripped from a diary. The images from his memory appear overexposed and spotty, as if scorching sunlight has bleached their surface, prolonging his search for clarity in recollection.
