About the artwork

Jl 20/5 A master of coalescence, Qin Feng seamlessly blends together the centuries-old art of Chinese ink painting and modern concepts of the Abstract Expressionists in an arresting series of meditative images. Bold brushstrokes, ethereal trails and plays on positive and negative space take his images beyond their aesthetic beauty to represent delicate balances, such as that of nature and man. Embodied with motion and representations of time, his pieces poetically combine Western fluidity and Chinese calligraphy - a concept of cultural contrast that is further emphasized by the use of tea and coffee as materials and his choice of colours. His artworks are culturally resplendent, but also modern marvels of contemporary art.
