Preview: Qiu Jie at Art Plural Gallery

Based in Switzerland, Chinese-born artist Qiu Jie creates painstakingly detailed pencil drawings, layering multitudes of text and pop culture-derived images in collage-like compositions. Drawing from both Chinese and Western culture, the work mixes militarism with material excess, taking the familiar and making it absurd. Qiu Jie has a solo show coming up at Art Plural Gallery in Singapore that will be on view September 13 through October 26. Take a look at some of the work in the show after the jump, images courtesy of Art Plural Gallery.

Artist and animation director Joe Vaux paints what he likes. His personal work is teeming with impish demons.
