Artist Biography

My name is Zhan Qiyu. My portfolio consists of paintings, performances, videos, installations, and sound. I have been exploring the relationship between the body and painting, body identity, nature and belief. I like to draw using different media such as collage, gouache, acrylic, charcoal, pencils, paper cut-outs, fabrics, markers, etc.In this process of painting or drawing, I continue to be inspired and to develop new forms of expression. For me, this process is like a ball, a moment of encounter, a celebration. And there’s no limit to my images, I can paint layer by layer. Finally, I feel the balance between the image and my desire to paint.
