CUI Nan's work is part of the Innocence and Experience exhibition, Oct 22 - Dec 23, at Mischmasch Gallery.
"I want to expand the sense of freedom that I feel when I'm painting to all areas of my life. That is the definition of success to me."
Cui Nan is originally from Hebei province in China, he now paints from his studio space in Song Zhuang, Beijing. He graduated from Hebei Normal University in 1999, where he later taught as a teacher. Cui Nan often features himself in his large-scale narratives. His paintings are ritualistic, imaginative, and charged with an energy that rebels and perplexes.
