Aixin Wan is an artist from Beijing, her work spans across painting, jewelry, printmaking, and sculpture. As an interdisciplinary artist, she focus on the narrative energy of the pieces, expressed through a variety of materials and techniques. She is deeply intrigued by the continuity and fluidity between visual images and tangible objects. She is currently exploring how to establish a connection between two-dimensional images and three-dimensional forms, much like the relationship between boats, oars, and the water’s surface.

She emphasize the role and significance of materials within the narrative. In “The Forgotten Room”, she used the translucency of acrylic to create a publication inspired by the choice phobia. Opening this book reveals a space gradually covered in mold. In Endless Treasure,  Aixin visualizes the dialectical thinking of time and existence in the painting, setting up an oppositional relationship in form and material: the fragile real-world medium (xuan paper) versus the tangible handcrafted items (jewelry). This reflects her abstract and soft understanding of time, as well as contemporary formal choices within tangible existence.
