Contemporary Chinese artist Chen Sixin was born in 1995 in Guangzhou but soon moved to Zuhai, where he grew up. He then returned to Guangzhou and he graduated from Guangdong University of Technology in 2017. Chen Sixin then studied abroad in the United States for two years and received his master’s degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2021. Chen Sixin focuses on posthumanism, combining the surrealistic elements of ancient comics and science fiction covers. His images show visions of ecology (the environment), extraterrestrial life and the end times. Chen’s works focus on animals and aliens. Each work does not have a specific motivation, but random reactions and scattered ideas often enter the picture without being realised. In his paintings, the viewers can feel a certain surrealistic fantasy of romanticism. He currently lives and works in Chongqing.
