moved to Beijing to work as a fashion designer and marketer until 1998, when she came

to create beauty, and to remember it.

the quality of the "Fashion" period. These works show a fascinating narrative
ability and extremely adept at conveying persona and situation using body
gesture and telling details.

This is Qun Zhou's personal style.
Artist Statement
Qun Zhou has the perceptive ability to see both with her eyes and with her
understanding of personality and the technical skill to record that
understanding on canvas.
She showing the way people express themselves and relate to others through
their gestures and through the objects with which they surround themselves.
The artist is concentrate on accomplishing this using her sophisticated sense
of subtle color and to keep her bold graphic sense in check-using it only when
punctuation is required. The cross-currents of Asian and Western art are
evident in Qun Zhou's painting.
