QIN FENG (CHINA, B. 1961)

Through powerful and uninhibited brushwork, Qin Feng's work manifests a physical energy and persuasively evinces the vitality of calligraphy, as the gestural brushstrokes invite the viewer's eye to roam freely across the pictorial plane, encouraging contemplation on the beauty of flowing, calligraphic strokes of black ink. For Qin Feng, the red line "connects the past and the present, the East and the West, memory and history, so that it inherits and preserves what is the most genuine in culture."
