About
Why this artist matters now
Xiao Yu works across painting, drawing, sculpture, video, performance, and installation to examine symbols of Chinese identity and the structures of the art world itself. The practice operates at the intersection of cultural semiotics and institutional critique, treating both heritage iconography and market systems as material for investigation.
