Qiu Anxiong China, b. 1972

Qiu Anxiong, born in 1972 in Qingdao, China, is well-known as an animation writer who talks about modern society in a classical way reminiscent of historical inspiration and ink painting. After studying at Sichuan University of the Arts in 1994, the artist moved to Germany in 1997 to expand his horizons, where he majored in painting at Kassel University of the Arts for six years. The experiences he gained in the social environments of two different cultures have been a very important motive for the artist to reflect on himself and further see China in a new way.
