Lives and works in London

Artist statement

Qian Jiang is a visual artist and researcher based in London, UK. She holds an MA in Photography and a Master of Research from the Royal College of Art. She uses various mediums, such as photography, installation and sculpture, to explore the intersection between Western and Eastern philosophy, particularly the concept of Nothingness. She also explores the idea of women as nothingness in a patriarchal society, bringing a modern view to philosophical classics. Andreas Gursky commented her artworks’ “visual presentation is very stringent”, and her piece One Minute of Photography Time has been regarded as “The best of the nature pictures’ by Waldemar Januszczak in The Times. Her artwork has been exhibited internationally, including at Tate Modern, Saatchi Gallery and Shanghai West Bund Artistic Center. She was selected as an emerging artist by Saatchi Gallery in 2020.
