Qiu Xiaofei | A Canticle of Life and Time
Qiu Xiaofei’s recent work marks a decisive shift from personal memory toward a universal meditation on life, time, and renewal. In The Theater of Winter and Thrive, private family history expands into a theatrical space where birth and decay coexist. Through distorted horizons, ancestral figures, and painterly references to photography, Qiu affirms painting’s enduring power to give form to the invisible, transforming loss into a profound vision of human continuity.
