Qian Qian (b. 1990, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China) graduated from Goldsmiths’ College of University of London with a master’s degree. She currently lives in London. Qian explores human spirituality and transcendence in the man-made technosphere and the wider natural world. Through paintings and interactive installations, she develops a narrative and aesthetic framework combining the two seemingly distinct spheres of mythology and science. Her practice delves into themes of quantum consciousness, interconnectedness, oneness, transhumanism and cultural hybridity, bridging the understanding of ancient belief systems and modern science.
