Li Qing is one of China's current young talents. Li Qing has a very distinctive style of his own, and is part of a new Chinese generation of painters.Li Qing (born in 1981 in Zhejiang province) is a graduate student at China Academy of Art and one of the representatives of this new generation. Over the last few years his art has been included many important exhibitions and rewarded several grants and awards, due to his excellence of performance - the mastery of refined and personal technique, the wide social concerns, and the appropriate representation. Executed in the very traditional medium of oil on canvas, the generally mid-size paintings are usually paired pictures. On his canvas an impression between the figurations and an abstract-gestural style is obvious.Li Qing is a great practitioner of oil painter. With his bold brush stroke, exact impasto, and, he smartly turns the visual games and subject matter into his own painterly game, a pictorial world that reflects changing reality. The blurring of the images not only suggests the digital visual world that surrounding us, but also the uncertainty of the changing world. Thus his creation oversteps the stylistic boundaries to sabotage clich's about Chinese contemporary art.

Li Qing is making a simple and easily accessible visual world where audience may exchange idea and share a common feeling. Many of the prototypes of contemporary Chinese art were heavy in their subject matter in order to express artists? negative attitude towards the current corruptive system. Even though his work present some views of public and political life but hard to tell his comment, like a pair of mirrors exactly reflecting two moments (or from slightly different angle) of an event or a scene. On the other hand the strong stroke of the brush and bold impasto as well as pigment texture are integrated to suggest a reality that is filtered by mass media or computerization, using Boudrillard's a simulation of the real. In this sense Li Qing does not tell what a concrete scene or story is, but indicating a visual experience to the contemporary world, or put it simply, his impression of the shifting life. Each of his painting deserves a close look and the serious comparassion of the pair of the paintings would find a strong sense of time, the consecutive moments of life. The distinguish painterly quality of the works empowers the unique fascination of pictures. Using the traditional medium Li Qing successfully presents a magic pictorial series of contemporary Chinese art. Simultaneously, psychological complexity toward the remarkable social transitions of China is easily understood. His art is a visual game but entwined with social information that reflects the vicissitudes of the society.
