Step into a realm of quiet contemplation and subtle emotional intensity within Xinyi Cheng’s debut solo exhibition in Los Angeles, “Sing to It,” hosted at the esteemed Matthew Marks Gallery. Running until June 14, 2025, this evocative collection of twelve new oil paintings invites viewers to linger in those ephemeral moments between action, where unspoken narratives and delicate feelings reside. Inspired by Amy Hempel’s concise storytelling, Cheng’s artistry masterfully captures the fragile beauty and underlying mysteries of everyday life, transforming ordinary scenes into profound visual poems that resonate with a sense of both familiarity and gentle estrangement.
