Qigu Jiang’s studio practice is an expression of figurative and calligraphic abstraction that draws on the cultural, political and social experiences from his life. Jiang explores a level of expression in his work that speaks about the colorful and yet sometimes the painful experience uniquely encountered in the living of both China and United Statas. His portrait and calligraphy ink works on paper evoke a world that crosses boundaries and engages the viewer in a dialogue about transculturalism and its societal transformations, in a renewed, postmodern discourse.
This show is curated by Frank Ye-Feng Wang, an assistant professor of art, Rhode Island College.
