About the artwork
Powerful, dramatic and aesthetically striking, the emotional and contemplative nature of Qin Feng’s pieces create a sense of intrigue, expressing dynamic energies that are reflective of Chinese art as well as an interpretive space steeped in abstraction. The artist uses coffee and tea to create Expressionist patterns of different shades, imbuing his work with emotion and bringing together East and West, in a dramatic display. His bold brushstrokes are filled with strength and emotion, dominating the canvas and demonstrating how dynamism and life can exist despite the simplicity of form. Like the man himself, Qin Feng’s works refuse to be bound by their medium, surging forward with pulsating energy to connect inextricably with viewers, and inspire movement and contemplation.
