Cui Jie (tennis)
Cui Jie (; born 1983) is a Chinese artist who specializes in oil painting and 3-D printed sculpture. Cui's body of work is largely characterized by her play with space and dimensionality, which take shape in her geometric imaginings of Chinese cityscapes. The most common subjects of her works are models of Chinese cultural landmarks of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Shanghai Bank Tower, which are either already or soon-to-be demolished. These towering structures are often surrounded by organic, swirling shapes to place them in a constant state of motion and transition, yet a 'sinofuturistic' context which both revives and reinvents their initial purposes. Biography Cui was born in Shanghai in 1983. In 2006, she graduated from China Academy of Art Oil Painting Department. She currently lives and works in Beijing, China. Cui is represented by LEO XU PROJECTS and Mother's Tankstation, Dublin. In 2012, she was described by The Wall Street Journal as one of the youngest "China's Rising ...
