Chen Qingshan

Chen Qingshan began his artistic journey in 2005, establishing his studio in the dynamic M50 Contemporary Art Park in Shanghai, China. This early period marked his exploration into contemporary practices within a thriving international art scene. In 2015, he relocated his studio to Chiang Mai, Thailand, where the region’s natural beauty and cultural depth became an enduring source of inspiration. His commitment to fostering cross-cultural dialogue led to the organization of the “Exchange Exhibition of Chinese and Thai Artists” in Chiang Mai in 2019, highlighting his dedication to collaboration and cultural exchange. His work gained broader recognition in 2022, a milestone year marked by several significant exhibitions. In April, he held his first solo exhibition in Thailand at Baan Kang Wat, Chiang Mai. This was followed by his participation in the prestigious Mango Art Festival in Bangkok in May. In September, he presented the solo exhibition Suthep Puyin at Chiang Rai Art Bridge Gallery, showcasing his evolving visual language rooted in local narratives. He continued to gain momentum with a solo exhibition in November at Ananta Kama Gallery (France) in Bangkok, and concluded the year by participating in the Mango Art Festival in Chiang Mai. Throughout his career, he has remained deeply engaged with both local and international art communities, blending cultural influences with a distinctive contemporary voice.
