XIU QIAN (胡修乾) , born in Wuhan, moved to Beijing in 2007 and now resides in Paris. Since arriving in France in 2018, he has embarked on a journey of reimagining his artistic perspective, using his practice to explore the connections between digital imagery, ready-made objects, gaming, and contemporary society. Inspired by the shifting landscape of social media, evolving modes of information dissemination, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, Xiuqian views painting as an essential bridge between the physical and virtual realms.
 

The ever-growing diversity and complexity of digital technology continuously fuel Xiuqian's reflections and creative pursuits. As technology advances and we increasingly question our understanding of reality, he believes that painting must be a dynamic, evolving system—constantly adapting, transforming, and renewing itself. At the core of his work lies a quest to discover new possibilities within the intricate web of digital systems and visual languages, striving to expand the limits of expression in this rapidly changing world.
