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

Biografie van de kunstenaar

Qiu Xiaofei: Exploring Memory and Psychological Landscapes

Qiu Xiaofei, born in Heilongjiang Province, China, in 1977, is a contemporary Chinese artist whose work delves into profound themes of memory, identity, and the passage of time—concepts that permeate his layered oil paintings. Studying at Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing earned him a Bachelor’s degree in Oil Painting in 1998, followed by a graduate program culminating in 2002. Now residing in Beijing, he continues to push artistic boundaries while rooted in the formative experiences of his childhood home—Harbin—a region that serves as a cornerstone for his aesthetic vision.

Early Influences: Qiu Xiaofei’s artistic journey began amidst the echoes of Soviet influence during his youth, shaping his understanding of architectural forms and spatial relationships. This early exposure instilled in him a fascination with abandoned buildings and landscapes—elements that would become recurring motifs throughout his oeuvre.
Formal Training & Artistic Evolution: Central Academy of Fine Arts provided him with rigorous training in classical painting techniques, which he skillfully adapted to explore more abstract concepts. He honed his skills focusing on capturing the irrational forces within the human psyche – madness, hallucination and other non-rational impulses.

Recurring Installations & Solo Exhibitions: A Minimalist Exploration of Consciousness

Qiu Xiaofei gained recognition in the early 2000s as part of a burgeoning generation redefining China’s artistic landscape. His debut solo exhibition, ‘Point of No Return,’ held at Boers-Li Gallery in Beijing in 2010, showcased his commitment to minimalist aesthetics—a deliberate choice reflecting on fundamental questions about consciousness and time. Subsequent exhibitions included 'Invisible Journeys' at Doosan Gallery in Seoul (2009) and 'Pagoda of the Discarded’ at Art&Public Gallery in Geneva (2008), demonstrating a global reach for his artistic vision.

Notable Exhibitions: He participated in significant group shows like ‘Face’ at minsheng art museum in Shanghai (2012), ‘Ministry of Truth’ at Boers-Li Gallery in Beijing (2012), and ‘Menglong-Oscurita’ at the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice (2011)—events that solidified his position within the international art community.

Symbolism & Technique: The Spiral Motif and Psychological Depth

Qiu Xiaofei's artistic practice is characterized by a masterful blend of Eastern and Western influences, prioritizing both bodily perception and intellectual inquiry. He employs painting as a medium to grapple with binary oppositions—growth versus death, brilliance versus cruelty—creating artworks that transcend mere visual representation. Central to his aesthetic is the spiral motif—a recurring symbol representing time’s non-linear progression—where past, present, and future intertwine and transform one another. As Qiu himself articulates, “All my paintings point to the same origin, forming an upward-moving spiral. Every new attempt to include experiences of greater complexity incorporates past solutions.”

Spiral Imagery: This deliberate compositional choice underscores his belief that art should stimulate contemplation and challenge conventional perspectives.

Recent Developments & Conceptual Complexity

In recent years, Qiu Xiaofei has deepened his engagement with psychoanalysis, producing works of increasing narrative and conceptual intricacy. His seminal series ‘Belovezhskaya Forest’ (2019–2021) weaves together deconstructed historical figures with familial memories in dreamlike compositions—a testament to his ability to fuse public history with personal experience. These explorations reflect a continuing fascination with the subconscious mind and its role in shaping human perception.

Psychological Exploration: His ongoing artistic endeavors demonstrate a commitment to pushing creative boundaries while maintaining a grounding in profound philosophical considerations.
