BIOGRAPHY
Atlanta based artist, Caomin Xie, originally from China, has been teaching and working in US since 1999. From 1993 to 2001 he studied at China Academy of Art and Savannah College of Art & Design. Xie holds the BFA in sculpture and MFA in painting.
Xie’s current body of work titled Still Image oil paintings created in the past four years. By “interlacing” one image upon another, Xie achieves a subtle suggestion of movement. His paintings vibrate much like the flicker of a television screen—an obvious reference to contemporary media. Emphasizing the process of painting over the painting in and of itself, Xie explores the effects of using a deliberate and fixed media to imitate the transience of the TV screen image.
