A master of Chinese calligraphic paintings of fifteen years and now one of

the most valuable emerging artists in the international contemporary

art scene, Huajin Qiu a Chinese contemporary artist based in England

brings SERENDIPITY, a solo painting exhibition of his latest

highly sought after work into Preston’s spotlight.

 

Qiu’s work is a fusion of Chinese calligraphy and Western abstract expressionism,

drawing inspiration from Chinese oracle calligraphic characters, the natural world,

music, and for the most part his dreams. At first glance his paintings let the audience

indulge in brilliant sensations consisting of dream-like surreal scenes brought to life

by vibrant colours. Upon closer examination the strong black strokes establish the stability

of the internal structure while powerful colours, tones and line refinements create the

gorgeous texture. The balance between strokes, structure, colours, tones, and texture

then gives the work a delicate quality.

 

Huajin Qiu says: “My transcultural experience is serendipitous for my art. My work

in return is always a pleasant surprise to my life.  ”

The opening reception will take place on April 14, Saturday, 2012 (from 6pm to 9.30pm).

The exhibition will be displayed until the end of May.
