From his confrontation with the art of the past (Egyptian, Greek, Mexican, heraldic art, etc.), a singular, dense universe of extraordinary vitality emerges through the use of colour, the expressiveness of his gesture, the sureness of his line, and collage, which can be found in many of his drawings, but also in his painting, sculpture and performances.
Xue Song is a Chinese artist who works and lives in Anhui Province, China.
He graduated from the Shanghai Institute of Dramatic Art, Department of Stage Art, and is one of the leading artists of contemporary Chinese pop art. Song is recognized as the first artist in China to bring Western collage to the Chinese contemporary art scene.

Soot and ash are the most important elements of his art, and the outlines of many of the figures in his depictions look as if they were on fire. For Xue, ashes and fire are a reminder of destiny and a symbol of rebirth. Over and over again, the artist recalls the fire that burned down his studio in the early 1990s, destroying all of his work, mostly oil paintings and calligraphy. The charred remnants of paintings, rescued from the ashes, are used as fragments in new works, as a kind of remembrance of past events.
