Chen Qi 陈琦 (b.1963). After graduating in 1987 with a BA in Drawing from Nanjing Institute of Fine Art, he completed a PhD in Fine Art in 2006. He is the Professor of Central Academy of Fine Arts and a Member of the Chinese Artists Association.

Chen Qi's art is both traditional and modern, manifesting conceptuality and a modern aesthetic sensibility in the search for the roots of cultural traditions. He uses traditional water-based printmaking to depict ancient Chinese furniture and musical instruments. This deft combination is a reflection of the artist's wisdom.
