text by Paul Frèches, published by Xavier Hufkens, 2025, 88 pages, English
Xavier Hufkens is delighted to present a new catalogue by Qiu Xiaofei, published in accordance with the exhibition BARE (2024).
“Rather than a rupture, Qiu's evolution unfolds organically, with each stage emerging as a natural extension of what came before. This dynamic process is perhaps most clearly reflected in the wall of Qiu’s studio, where a tree grows and regenerates alongside his work. The wall is covered with drawings, sketches, old family portraits, and various documents — small fragments that together form a medley of his existence.” — Paul Frèches
