  • Artist: Qian Gang
  • Medium(s): Painter
  • Born in: Shanghai, China
  • Exhibitions List 

Qian Gang was born in Shanghai in 1958. In 1976, the artist was sent to the countryside to be re-educated for the next 5 years of his life. The son of a famous painter, Qian Da Xing, Qian Gang’s father is renowned for his advertisements and works created during the Cultural Revolution.

Influenced by both his forced move out of the city as well as his father’s skill as a painter, Qian Gang became a self-taught artist, following the intuition of his personal experiences to inform his choice of subject matter.

In 1981, Qian Gang entered the Shanghai Light Industry Institute where he was trained as an interior designer and later opened his own company of interior design. In 1988, he moved to the United States to attend the San Francisco Art Academy, after which he moved to New York to work for VIAMAX Studio. Since 1994, Qian Gang has resided in Shanghai.

His works have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States, as well as at the Shanghai MoCA (2005) and the Singapore Art Museum (2006).
