colour coupler print // Qiu Zhijie's Tattoo 3 is a provocative digital print that explores themes of identity, censorship, and self-expression. The artwork features a young man with a red prohibition symbol painted around his neck and torso, creating an impactful visual that evokes restriction and societal control. The stark contrast of the red against the subject’s skin intensifies the feeling of confinement, suggesting a symbolic commentary on the limitations imposed by external forces on personal freedom. Created in 2000, this piece reflects Zhijie's exploration of Chinese contemporary society and the often complex relationship between individual identity and societal expectations. Limited to an edition of 10, Tattoo 3 is a powerful statement on autonomy and resistance.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
