Long Quan
b.1956, Chongqing, Chinalives and works in Beijing (China)
LONG Quan (b. 1956, Chongqing, China) holds both a BA and an MA from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Chongqing, China. He has recently held solo exhibitions at Tabula Rasa Gallery in Beijing, James Fuentes Gallery in New York, and YIMA Gallery in Chengdu. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at prestigious institutions, including the National Art Museum of China, the Yuan Art Center, and the Capital Museum in Beijing. He has served as a professor in the Department of Painting at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and as the Dean of the School of Art and Design at Beihang University in Beijing.
LONG's minimalist, almost naïveté approach to landscape painting emphasises a stark, structural form. With restrained brushstrokes and a controlled palette, he attempts to capture the ephemeral, even elusive state between movement and stillness in nature. In his paintings, mountains, rocks, trees, water, and clouds grow naturally in a slow, deliberate manner, dissolving the immediate urgency that typically defines our relationship with external images. His work offers a calm dignity, achieved through a lucid merging of closeness and remoteness.
