Sun Yifei (b. 1995, Ganluo County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan) graduated from the Middle School Attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2014, and obtained his BFA (2018) and MFA (2022) from the Department of Oil Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Sun’s paintings are executed through rapid airbrush techniques, featuring panoramic and polished surfaces that almost erase all traces of brushwork. The images appear detailed yet distorted, with a distinctly virtual texture. The narratives within his painting possess a quality that cannot be easily described or expressed in language—the images simultaneously present the structure and plot, the beginning and the end, all at once to the audience. Time, Space and all other things are compressed into a single pictorial plane. It is a realm that only images can perfect within imaginative thought. His works are held in the collections of X Museum, Guangdong Contemporary Art Center, START Museum and other institutions.
His solo exhibitions include: “Interpellation of an Alien”, Keyi Gallery (Beijing, 2026); “The Pond”, Keyi Gallery (Beijing, 2024); “Decameron”, SSSSTART, START Museum (Shanghai, 2022); “Satisfied”, Keyi Gallery (Hefei, 2021).
