Qiu Xiaofei, Recurring

Qiu Xiaofei’s painterly practice has evolved from a thematic consideration of the temporal nature of objects to a formal expression of the consciousness which lies behind these objects. It takes the ontological nature of painting as medium as a basis for formal practice. Recurring is a group of paintings construed as an installation in which wood appears repeatedly, becoming a visual thread tying together the artist’s thought process and signaling the depth of consciousness and its non-linear relation with artistic practice.

This artwork was featured in the UCCA exhibition "ON | OFF: China’s Young Artists in Concept and Practice, ” 2013
