YE Xing Qian . Vice President of The Association of the Poets Dragons of  Europe.

He is a self taught painter who began painting at the age of 5. He took also interest in sculpture on stone and wood. When 16 he made a salary decorating temples and realizing calligraphy for funeral or wedding ceremony. At the age of 17 he got his fist exhibition in his hometown. Afterwards in 1982 he left China and settled in France.

 

In 1987 he took part at Jeune peinture jeune expression exhibition and became eventually an organizer there.

 

For a long time he uses exclusively his Chinese tools consisting of : Chinese ink, water color, rice paper and bamboo paper.

 

However his technique is directly inherited from Chinese calligraphy his painting goes beyond traditional way the shan shui style to step in the abstract world.

 

The gesture is fast and lively. Ink is thrown on the paper creating mineral element winking at the old masters.

He’s painting is free and audacious, creating a new way of painting without denying his inheritance.

 

 

In 2004, he took courses in school of Fine Arts of Nankin supervised by his teacher, master Zhang You Xian.

 

In 2008 he took interest with enthusiasm in the difficult oil painting. With oil painting one could stop his work and get on it later whereas the watercolor does not permit it. Giving the opportunity of another way of painting.
