PIFO Gallery is pleased to present our new exhibition Shoot at Grapes from 18 September to 18 October 2020, the first solo exhibition of Qiu Jingtong. Through the comprehensive use of painting, sculpture, installation and other forms of language, Qiu Jingtong created a series of images different from the adult perspective, and conducted self-reflection and self-expression with a more authentic, inward attitude. Her work shows purity and full of imagination.

Qiu Jingtong’s art offers a unique perspective that attracts considerable attention. From the earlier subject matters of social reality to the later series about coming-of-age memories, all of her works put a captivating perspective to heighten a sense of the unwillingness to grow up, which reveals the childhood innocence and instincts of the world where she indulges herself. From her perspective, the actual existence and captive imagination of things could create an inversion, that is, what you see may not be necessarily real, what lingers in your mind may not be virtual either. What is the truth on earth? None of scientists, philosophers, sociologists or the artist herself may provide a clear answer to the question. Such a way of seeing, however, reminds us that we once viewed the world that way.

“Shoot at Grapes” aims straight for the heart and goes deep inside our childhood innocence. Without regard to right or wrong, the “examination papers” symbolize the phases of coming of age. True or false, the fragments of memories bit by bit constructed a vision of a refined, singular image, which represents many moments of her life with an absence of conscious awareness. Such a resolute mode of the stream of consciousness applied by Qiu Jingtong, generally speaking, enables her to re-examine herself, and specifically, allows for her freedom of artistic expression.

Transitioning from the weighted realism to the lightness of the steam of consciousness and from anxiety brought by outward observation to the easiness in inward reflection, what has been made manifest is the natural intimacy between Qiu Jingtong’s art and the artist herself as well as her absolute mastery of it.

About the Gallery

PIFO Gallery concentrates on the participation of the course of Chinese contemporary art and the exploration of post-war European master artists and seeking for all possibilities of art power in the dialogue and collision between the two aspects. As a major gallery in China specialized in the study and promotion of abstract art, and also the main institution to continuously explore the various possibilities of figurative art at present, PIFO is convinced that the experience of art emerges from the new world created by one revolution after another; The artist's work is the third eye to explore the world. For collectors, PIFO provides expertise and encourages them to explore their own unique perspective because only the combination of the two can make a great collection. We hope to see a growing number of collectors to take on the roles of a connoisseur, with a more in-depth understanding of Asian and Western contemporary art, and appreciate the artists discovered, reshaped and firmly believed in by the gallery.
