Katherine Qiyu Su （苏祺钰）
(b.1999, Beijing)
Born in Beijing, China, 1999
Lives and works in London.
The challenge of representing and tracing Intangible memories is central to Qiyu Su's artistic inquiry. The artist explores the shadowy borderland between truth and memory. Authorship and identity within paintings.
The enigmatic quality consistently persisted in her practice, resembling an intricate puzzle that demands interpretation. Within erasing traces of specific elements, bodies, and movements became deconstructed, directed by emotions, and formed new motifs, transforming between figuration and abstraction.
In Su's work, instantaneous is constantly emphasized. Things took place in the center of unknown time and space without precondition. It's a spotlight stage for emotion. Subject flows and looms, such a central but marginalized existence. Like written plays only stay on the rehearsal stage.
