创作以水墨为主要媒介,关注绘画(水墨)语言在当代语境中的延展与转化。试图超越绘画对日常经验的单纯再现,从“95后”同时代青年的视角出发,探讨事物的存在方式与其背后的社会本质。在传统水墨与当代观念之间,秦强不断重构个人经验、时代感知与文化身份的关系,呈现出具有现实思考与精神指向的视觉表达。 Qin Qiang was born in Shandong, China, in 1996. He is a postdoctoral researcher in Fine Arts at Tsinghua University and received his PhD from Hongik University in South Korea. An independent artist and curator, he currently lives and works between Seoul and Beijing.
Working primarily with ink, Qin explores the possibilities of extending and transforming the language of painting—particularly ink painting—within a contemporary context. Rather than simply representing everyday experience, his practice approaches the conditions of contemporary life from the perspective of China’s post-1995 generation, examining the ways in which things exist and the social realities underlying their appearances.
Situated between the traditions of Chinese ink painting and contemporary artistic thought, Qin continually reconfigures the relationships between personal experience, perceptions of the present, and cultural identity. Through this process, he develops a visual language that engages critically with contemporary reality while maintaining a distinct spiritual and contemplative dimension.
