He Tianqi

Xi'an, China

HE TIANQI (b.1990, Xi’an), he currently works and lives in Xi'an, Shaanxi. He graduated from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts with a master's degree in 2016. He was a invited visiting scholar at the Chinese Culture Center in Paris, France. His creation involves on-canvas and on-site painting in the public space. His works cleverly conceal thoughts and emotions under his visual mechanism and creation method, and gradually reduce the narrative nature of the image, forming his own visual landscape. His recent solo exhibitions include: "Filter", chiK11 Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2024); "Nine Black Pearls“, Mocube, Beijing, China (2020); "Graffiti Game", BANANA Art Space, Nanjing, China(2019); “Static”, Mocube, Beijing (2018); "Universe Creation”, OCAT, Xi’an (2016).
