Qiuchen Fan

QiuChen Fan was born in Kunming, China. As a recipient of Dean's Scholarship from Cleveland Institute of Art, QiuChen started her art journey in the US in 2011. She received her BFA as a drawing major in 2015 with “Excellence in Drawing” award scholarship. After few years graduating from school, QiuChen can finally settle down and have a little home-based studio to better focus on her art producing.

QiuChen mainly works through 2D medium incorporating ink, pencil, acrylic and collage. With a primary interest of people and the boundaries that exists within relationships, her work explores the co-existence of contradictions, contemporary lifestyles and consumer culture. Being influenced by both Chinese and American communication modes and aesthetic systems, she considers the role of an artist as an observer and art as a way to meditate. QiuChen is currently based in Virginia.
