Xue Sun is an artist from China who lives and works in Paris, France. Sun creates drawings and sculpture that take the literal world further into the depths of imagination. The artist keep her work abstracted from a larger narrative and, instead, focuses on the morphology of plants, animals and landscape.

Il était une fois un nuage 1 (2011) shows a pair of gray and black wings combusting into a flare of red that flies nose down toward the ground. Another piece titled Forêt d’Amazonie (2011) depicts a reclusive circle of abundant green foliage that shelters an abandoned boat seen in the center. Sun adds a personal twist into two drawings titled Chauve-souris (2011) and Le compte caracara (2012) by presenting these animals within the portrait genre. The bat, in particular, is shown with yellow fur and a small rose-like blossom for a nose.

In 2012 Xue Sun received a solo show titled Le songe d’Arode at the Galerie Eric Mircher. In 2011 her work appeared in Bêtes off as part of the Manifestation d’Art Contemporain du Centre des Monuments Nationaux at La Conciergerie in Paris, and also in Monuments et animaux at the Château de Pierrefonds in France. Sun’s work has appeared in group shows within France and China. In 2009 the artist won the Frédéric and Jean de Vernon Award in Sculpture at the Académie des Beaux-Arts de l’Institut de France.
