1990年出⽣于重庆⼤⾜。2014年本科毕业于四川美术学院油画系，2020年硕⼠毕业于四川 美术学院油画系。现⽣活和⼯作于重庆。蒋⼩余的绘画克制⽽内敛，他尽可能地剔除那些来⾃于⽇常图景或素材中的冗余和繁复，画⾯因此变得集中和纯粹，蒋⼩余试图通过对形象的深⼊洞察和异质化处理，刻画个体⽣命在现实处境中的复杂遭遇，从⽽揭⽰和隐喻⼈们在普遍⾯临外部多变且动荡的世界时随之产⽣的内⼼活动。蒋⼩余的⼯作尽可能地削弱叙事性，⽽更多集中在对情感和精神世界的探寻与传达，这些看似晦暗、 荒诞、诡谲同时也透露着单纯、可爱与情趣的内容，既⽣动鲜活，也诗性盎然。

Jiang Xiaoyu was born in 1990 in Dazu, Chongqing, China. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in the Oil Painting Department from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2014, a master’s degree from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2020. He currently lives and works in Chongqing.
Jiang Xiaoyu’s paintings are restrained and introspective, and he tries to eliminate as much redundancy and complexity as possible from the everyday scenes or materials, so that the images become focused and pure. Through the insight and heterogeneity of this single image, Jiang Xiaoyu attempts to portray the complex encounters of individual lives in real-life situations, thus revealing and metaphorizing the inner activities that arise when people are generally faced with a changing and turbulent world. Jiang Xiaoyu’s work diminishes the narrative as much as possible, instead, it focuses more on the exploration and communication of emotions and the spiritual world. These seemingly obscure, absurd and treacherous contents, which at the same time reveal innocence, loveliness and interest, are both vivid and poetic.
