Born in 1997 in Harbin, China, Jin Ruoxi was admitted to the Beaux-Arts in Paris on leaving high school, and graduated in 2024. Since then, She has successfully navigated the Parisian art scene, exhibiting at prestigious institutions including the Galerie du Crous, Galerie Mennour and Frac's Le Plateau. Recognized as an emerging professional artist, Jin still lives and works in Paris.
When I first saw Jin's work, I immediately sensed a quality that was both strange and interesting. I was curious about the remarkable momentum her career gained shortly after graduation, as if she were particularly "lucky". In the interview, I hoped to introduce to readers a form of contemporary artistic practice that may initially be considered difficult to access or understand.
The following is an edited transcript of the longer interview.
