Edie Xu tries to avoid comparisons with her parents, but their influence is inevitable, the show's organizer, Dong Huiping, says.

Her father's use of light and shadow can be seen in her installation. Her sculptures' bright colors hark to her mother's work, Dong explains.

Edie Xu was born in New York. She returned to China at age 7 and received her education in international schools in Beijing.

She spends most of her time with her mom.

Cai says the girl couldn't concentrate when she was little but would spend over two hours painting.

"I always encourage her to draw what she wants. And I clean up after her," the mother says.

Edie Xu travels a lot, plays badminton and loves outdoor sports.

Xu Bing says: "I can always read my daughter's personality and true thoughts through her works. One has to be honest with art."

It's the perfect language for them to communicate, he says.
