Limited edition of 45 + 5 artist proofs, signed and numbered on the front.

Almine Rech Editions is pleased to present Moon Light, the first limited edition print in collaboration with Chinese artist Ji Xin.

Born in 1988 in Jiangsu Province, China, Ji Xin received his BA and MA degrees in the Oil Painting Department from the China Academy of Art, and also studied in Paris as a visiting artist via an Exchange Project of CAA, in 2012. He is currently a PhD candidate at the China Academy of Art.

Ji Xin's exploration is making steady progress, retracing the intersection of different narratives from the Eastern and Western classical aesthetics, gradually awakening the contemporary sensibility outlined by his perspective. In his work, traditional Eastern modeling methods and Western oil painting techniques are intertwined, presenting an examination of the forms and realms of Song dynasty painting, as well as a glimpse of his research into Renaissance iconography and the glazing of light and shadow. This ambiance in his work is not based on the response to a specific history or context, but on an understanding of the world and how to embed oneself in the surroundings.
