Xizhou Xie, pronounced “she-joe shieh,” is an emerging abstract artist based in Madison, WI. With her home, studio, and art gallery all under one roof, she believes that art should seamlessly integrate into daily life. She specializes in creating vibrant pieces characterized by vivid colors, bold textures, and dynamic compositions that engage the viewer’s senses.

Xizhou draws inspiration from the diverse tapestry of life itself. Her unique experience as a first-generation immigrant can be seen through her choice of materials, subjects, and styles.  From the different landscapes of her home lands, the ebb and flow of emotions, and the intricate balance of conflicting cultural values, Xizhou explores both how much and how little of her different identities can be seen on the canvas. Her connection to the worlds around her fuels a constant exploration of what she can convey with each painting, ensuring that each artwork is a unique reflection of the artist’s evolving perspective. 

Xizhou also creates functional home décor from her original paintings. With a positive tone and focus on creativity and individuality, Xizhou’s art will brighten up any living space. Her artwork can be viewed in person at the Xizhou Xie Art Gallery.

When she’s not in the studio, Xizhou enjoys tennis, cuddling with her cats, and traveling. She is always looking for ways to push the boundaries of her art.
