"These rainbow angels created by the artist are fusions of Eastern and Western culture. They wear the wings of Western angels but have the faces of oriental. The artist also gives the angel different looks of man and woman, and names them based on the old Chinese wisdom: Rainbow comes in two shades, the bright one as the male called Hong, and the gentle one as the female called Ni. Hence the artist named the male angels Hong, with the strong and bright colors, they bring hope and vitality; correspondingly, the females angels are named Ni, their soft and sweet colors are originated from the artist’s memory of the ice creams during his trip to Italy. They are angels of loveliness, bringing comforts and joys." Famous contemporary Chinese sculptor Qu Guangci was born in Shanghai in 1969 and received his MFA from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts Sculpture Department. Since 1999, Qu has been invited to exhibit his works around the world, including China, Germany, France, the United States and throughout Southeast Asia. To date, he has held nine solo exhibitions. He resigned from his university teaching position in 2007 to found X+Q Sculpture Studio, together with his wife Xiang Jing. He established the art brand X+Q Art in 2010, and now currently lives and works in Beijing. As the youngest artist to win the grand prize at the National Fine Arts Exhibition, Qu Guangci became renowned throughout the art world for his sculpting techniques. He has attracted widespread attention for his contemporary sculpture language and his post-political expression techniques, and is most famous for his Little Fatty series. Qu's work often presents a dual nature, providing infinite space for viewer's interpretation. Many of his works present a balanced state between humanity and divinity. They are neither angels nor demons, neither conflicted nor hesitant – its significance is a reflection of the current state of affairs in China. Qu Guangci is one of the most active contemporary Chinese artists in collaborations with other creative disciplines.Guangci has an amazing ability of combining tradition and modern, culture and design, art and commerce, all at the right balance. As the artistic director and founder of X+Q Art, his exceptional personality has provided the design brand with a very unique style, a mixture of art, design and commerce.
