Cui Jie constructs a futuristic vision of China’s rapid urbanisation.

The sun hangs low over Shanghai Federation of Industry & Commerce Building, drawing upon the artist’s experience of growing up in the city. Multiple perspectives collide on one plane, showing glitches of what lies beyond the building’s present facade. The silkscreen print synthesises an array of aesthetics – from Bauhaus and Soviet propaganda, to urban futurism.

Using coloured pencil Cui adds hand-drawn birds to each print, her soft hued birds adorn the surface against the shiny metallics of the architecture.

Cui Jie1 collaborationCui reflects on rapid economic growth via architectural painting, drawing and 3D sculpture. Wielding spray paint, coloured pencil and torn sheets of draft paper, her surreal compositions reveal an epic world-vision where Russian Constructivism meets vast expanses of Colour Field Abstraction. Having lived in Shanghai, Beijing and Hangzhou, Cui paints from observation. However, rather than being an exact representation of her surroundings, her paintings deconstruct the components of a cityscape into an architectural time capsule: part-sculpture, part-building and part-fantasy.
