Qiu Jiongjiong (Chinese: 邱炯炯, born 1977 in Sichuan, China) is a Chinese contemporary artist and filmmaker based in Shenzhen China.

Born in 1977 in Leshan, Sichuan Province in central China. Qiu Jiongjiong went on to work in Beijing until 2017, and now currently lives and works in Shenzhen, China.

Qiu Jiongjiong predominantly works with paint and film in his pieces. He has participated in multiple exhibitions and art fairs both locally in China and internationally.[1] His films have been praised as giving a raw narrative of Chinese society and an unbiased approach to modern Chinese political topics.[2]

Background

Qiu Jiongjiong was born in Leshan, Sichuan Province of China in 1977. His grandfather, a famous Sichuan Opera performer, introduced him to painting at the age of two and he began performing local opera at the age of three. At the age of 18 he left school to pursue his art.

Qiu Jiongjiong considers his unique upbringing to have played a role in making him somewhat of an eccentric in the art community.[2]

From Leshan, Sichuan Qiu Jiongjiong moved to Beijing where he is represented by Star Gallery. He has shown in public spaces including the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art[3] in Beijing and most recently at ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair.[4]

He now lives in Shenzhen with his wife and is represented in China through Star Gallery.[5]
