Vincent Xeus stands as a quintessential artist of the age of globalization. During his formative years, he was introduced to golden age foreign films, which left an indelible mark on his artistic sensibilities. In the shifting cultural landscape of 1990s China, these cinematic experiences became key sources of inspiration, profoundly influencing his visual memory and creative vision. Through his Icon Series, Xeus pays homage to this pivotal period, where each encounter with the broader world sparked curiosity, wonder, and boundless creativity. His work not only captures the essence of that era but also reflects the transformative impact of globalization on individual identity and artistic expression.
