Frieze London

Booth C20

For this edition of Frieze London, Almine Rech will proudly showcase six new works by the renowned Chinese artist Ji Xin (b. 1988). Based in Hangzhou and Shanghai, Ji Xin explores the convergence of Eastern and Western classical aesthetics through his large portraits of ethereal women in timeless, graceful states. His imposing canvases often depict life-size models with elongated limbs and enlarged eyes, set in elegant Art Deco interiors. Drawing inspiration from the Italian Renaissance and Song dynasty painting, his works are characterised by serene, pastel palettes, promoting introspection and delving into themes of self-reflection and poetic contemplation. These tranquil pieces invite viewers to deeply engage with the enigmatic figures depicted. 

To complement Ji Xin's distinctive pieces, our booth will also feature a group presentation including works by Trudy Benson, Brian Calvin, Alejandro Cardenas,  Ali Cherri, Roby Dwi Antono, Genieve Figgis, Hew Locke, Dr. Esther Mahlangu, Vivian Springford, Claire Tabouret, Tom Wesselmann, and Guimi You. This curated selection of emerging and established artists reflects the gallery’s diverse program, showcasing artists who exemplify expansive investigations into color and form.
