Enhanced
European realism, combining elements of east and west, traditional and modern are the
characteristics of Zifen Qianıs painting. His art philosophy is, "The soul of
painting is expression of true feelings and profound thoughts".
Qian says, "Painting is a visible art form which should be understandable by persons
other than the artist. Creating a painting is not the same as addressing
scientific abstract inference on a report. Artistic addressing of social,
psychological and cultural issues is based on the artistıs personal judgment from life
and always combines his or her cognition of perceptual and rational knowledge with
techniques of image making".
Zifen Qian was born in Shanghai, China. He graduated from Shanghai Normal University
in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and graduated from Portland State University in
1989 with a Master of Fine Arts Degree. His works graced the Shanghai Fine Arts
Academic Shows and Across East China National Oil Painting Shows in the 1980s.
During the late 1980s and 1990s he had many highly successful one-man exhibitions in
the USA. Governments, universities, large companies and private collectors have
acquired his paintings. Qianıs works have also been published in books, greeting
cards and other publications, being widely sold around the world. He has gained much
attention for his achievements as an internationally acclaimed artist.
