Cheng’s photography has a strong connection to her paintings. Xinyi Cheng (1989, China) lives and works between Shanghai and Paris. Drawing on Western masculine imagery, Cheng’s work focuses on an intimacy that fuses gentleness and modesty but also occasionally the grotesque and the perverse. Her paintings and their diaphanous colors have an intense atmosphere, a sensuous in-between state where identities prove fragile and fleeting. photography by Cheng Xinyipublished by BHKMfirst edition of 500printed in Hong Kong26 x 19.5 cm144 pagessoftcover2018 The Blower from Xinyi Cheng on Vimeo.
