Qiu Anxiong:Animated Narratives
This exhibition of work by emerging Shanghai-based artist Qui Anxiong includes paintings and video art. Qui’s unique videos are created by a stop-motion animation technique from images of his paintings. Together the paintings and videos in this exhibition offer insight into Qiu’s process: how he creates an image in paint, how it evolves and is recorded, and its final result in video as part of an ever-changing series of images. The result is hauntingly beautiful moving images that range from mythical stories to urban transformation.
Qui Anxiong was born in 1976 in Sichuan Province, where he studied at the Sichuan Art Academy until 1994. After completing further study in Kassel, Germany, he returned to China to settle in Shanghai. He has shown his work internationally, including in contemporary art biennials in Sydney, Thessaloniki, Seoul, Sáo Paulo, Busan, and Nanjing.
