薛若哲1987年生于江苏，2012年本科毕业于中央美术学院油画系第三工作室，2015年硕士毕业于英国皇家艺术学院绘画系。曾获得纳威·博斯顿奖，高登-卢顿造型艺术奖，和汤姆·本德海姆具象绘画奖等。并于2022年入围了杰出亚洲艺术大奖。目前工作生活于北京和广州。
她的作品以绘画为主要媒介，在图像与绘画、绘画与自身历史的裂痕中，探索具象绘画系统在当下的再情境化与复魅。在克制的图像叙事中暗示尚未呈现的、将要发生的。她使用高度限定的工作方法，通过不断减去画中元素——直至画面出现某种悬停、凝滞的状态——将绘画的心理密度推到极限，以此位移绘画中的真实。
近年来，她以绘画为基点，不断探索着现实的边界。
Xue Ruozhe was born in Jiangsu Province. After graduated from the Oil Painting Department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts, they continued their study in the Painting Programme of Royal College of Art, and obtained their master’s degree in 2015. They are the award winner of the Neville Burston Prize, Gordon Luton Prize for Fine Art, and the Tom Bendheim Prize, also the recipient of China National Scholarship. They were shortlisted for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2022. Xue currently lives and works in Beijing and Guangzhou.
Using painting as their main artistic approach, Xue’s works explore the re-contextualization and re-enchantment of figurative painting in contemporary media ecology, in the rift between painting and imagery, painting and its own history. Underneath the restrained pictorial narrative are Xue’s hints about what has yet to be presented or is about to happen. Working with a highly restricted methodology, Xue pushes the psychological density of their paintings to the limit, the reality is then distorted by constant subtraction until the paintings reach a state of suspension and stagnation.
In recent years, their works focus on exploring the boundary of reality.
