Description:
Shanghai Federation (2023) by Cui Jie presents a futuristic vision of China’s rapid urbanization. The low sun casts light across the Federation of Industry and Commerce building in Shanghai, a reference to the artist’s own upbringing in the city.

Multiple perspectives collide within the same plane, offering glimpses beyond the building’s façade. The composition synthesizes a wide range of aesthetics—from Bauhaus and Soviet propaganda to urban futurism.

Each print is uniquely hand-finished by Cui Jie with softly colored pencil-drawn birds, creating a delicate contrast with the gleaming metallic surfaces of the architecture. The result is a powerful exploration of memory, urban transformation, and visual hybridity.
