[Brief personal statement]:

I am Chen Qiuchi, a Chinese artist. I began my career as a liberal-occupation artist since the “YUANMINGYUAN Stage” in China in the beginning of 1990. My works have been exhibited in Changchun, Shenyang, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong of China, Seoul of Korea, London of England, Cologne and Berlin of Germany and the like for many times. I participated in “Art Cologne” and “Seoul International Art Fair”.

I received strict training on modeling ability and oil painting technique. However, as a contemporary artist, I have my own conscience. I cannot concern myself with the reality, the changes and problems occurring in the process of development of human society.

My works are schemas composed of picture symbol of human head. These ‘symbols’ are accumulating and expanding as virus, or guffaw or outcry, so as to express the difficult choice of human in development. That is, whether human are to choose peaceful and environmental protection development, or the war and development at the expense of damaging the environment.

The swelling desire of human, crazy development in armaments and science and technology, and inequality in human right, pollution of environment and crisis of energy, etc., pestering the world like plague……

It is undeniable that, the technology that we have known is only one of the methods that people know and transform the world rather than the sole method. However, the concept of technology has penetrated in people’s mind and each field of life. People’s minds are controlled by modern technology and their own desire unconsciously……

Just as that said by Einstein: “Where do we come from, where is the human heading for?”

My paintbrush gives such a long sigh, trying to arouse the love in human heart through my works and their conscience that is in sound sleep, so as to make the globe where human and other animals are inhibited remain peace and vitality……

As some well-known reasons, I can only mail some works including oil paintings on the shelf, digital images and sculptures from 1998 to the present to your organization. I sincerely expect that I have the chance of cooperating with your organization and let more people to see my works.

I am looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
