Qiu Xiaofei paintings recall a dreamlike and blurry state of memory that bears an translucent relationship to reality. Many are painted from photographs of the artist's own childhood, but the connection to history is more disjunctive than mimetic; indeed, the artist's remembrances bear a dauntingly complex relationship to the reproduction of either the real or the imagined image. Qiu Xiaofei expands these explorations in his sculptural paintings which involve objects, usually toys or memories from an era already past sculpted our of fiberglass and plastic and then painted over, leading them an altogether painterly appearance.
