Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
 
Chengxiang Qi was born in 1952 in China. After graduating from the LuXun Academy of Fine Arts in 1977, he completed his master's degree at the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Art, Beijing, in 1997. While attending the Central Academy's research department, Qi mastered many different styles and techniques, exploring a wide range of venues, from impressionism to realism. He settled into a style that reflects the influence of the Dutch School of Art and the virtuosity of the Italian Renaissance.


Every one of his beautiful paintings reflects sensitivity to light combined with saturated color, within poetic compositions. His refined and elegant style characterizes compelling portraits of modest young women in traditional Chinese attire; their youth and quiet innocence captured on the canvas for eternity. His fascination with light is revealed in a series of dramatic "Candle Light" paintings of various ethnic minorities of China, which have become highly prized by collectors.

 

The Chinese government has presented him with numerous awards, including the Gold award in the celebrated 8th National Exhibition. He has had numerous solo exhibitions in Germany, France, Holland and Spain. In 2001, Chengxiang Qi immigrated to the United States. He is now a respected member of Oil painters of America, and is establishing a strong collector base in the United States.
