<p class="ql-block">Quotation of an article by Jinwan </p><p class="ql-block">Art Institute - “Zifen Qian’s New </p><p class="ql-block">Painting Digital Years”:</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">“Zifen Qian’s new oil painting</p><p class="ql-block">Digital Years 58”x 72” has pushed </p><p class="ql-block">its new conceptual romanticism </p><p class="ql-block">to a more perfect height. The </p><p class="ql-block">painting reveals the most sensitive </p><p class="ql-block">new concept of this era: past and </p><p class="ql-block">ongoing human development </p><p class="ql-block">phenomena have been irreversibly </p><p class="ql-block">digitized. Human beings are building new human beings with their </p><p class="ql-block">superior wisdom and creativity. An </p><p class="ql-block">artificial intelligence based on their </p><p class="ql-block">own image and way of thinking is </p><p class="ql-block">rapidly coming to our real society. </p><p class="ql-block">The fortune or misfortune of such </p><p class="ql-block">development can only be answered </p><p class="ql-block">in the years to come. Zifen Qian </p><p class="ql-block">applied his superb skills and </p><p class="ql-block">techniques to this work that </p><p class="ql-block">combines abstract expressionism </p><p class="ql-block">and classical realism, as well as the </p><p class="ql-block">infiltration of the number images, </p><p class="ql-block">just rightly express the </p><p class="ql-block">characteristics of the new </p><p class="ql-block">conceptual romantic school. Such </p><p class="ql-block">features are not foreseen by </p><p class="ql-block">European classics and romantic </p><p class="ql-block">masters, and are not foreseen by </p><p class="ql-block">German expressionism and </p><p class="ql-block">American abstraction masters. </p><p class="ql-block">Whether it is Margaret's surrealism </p><p class="ql-block">or Picasso's cubism or other forms </p><p class="ql-block">of modern and contemporary style, </p><p class="ql-block">it is first and foremost a unique </p><p class="ql-block">charm of formality. Zifen Qian’s </p><p class="ql-block">new conceptual romanticism style </p><p class="ql-block">also has such a unique charm! </p><p class="ql-block">Digital Years is an important </p><p class="ql-block">representative work of Qian Zifen's </p><p class="ql-block">style towards the peak period. We </p><p class="ql-block">believe that art history will record </p><p class="ql-block">this important work representing </p><p class="ql-block">the new conceptual romanticism.”</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p> <h3>《Digital Years》58”x 72” 2018</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail section 1</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail section 2</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail section 3</h3> <h3>《Digitail Years》detail section 4</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail aection 5</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail section 6</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail sectin 7</h3> <h3>《Digital Years》detail section 8</h3> <p class="ql-block">As a New Conceptual Romanticism </p><p class="ql-block">establisher Zifen Qian combines </p><p class="ql-block">modern spirituality with traditional</p><p class="ql-block">romanticism to merge western and </p><p class="ql-block">Chinese culture in his painting.
