个人简历
邱节,笔名他乡山人,1961年生于上海。父母亲为支援中小型城市建设,去安徽芜湖造船厂担任领导工作。他则由生活在上海的祖父母抚养长大。他十岁时开始学画,每日临习报纸上的工农兵形象达数小时。就读中学时,在同学家中的画室里,经常作画至深夜。1978年,以优异成绩跳级考入上海轻工业专科学校美术专业。毕业后任上海仪表公司美术设计师达六年之久。此间,因工作上的需要到全国各大省市布置产品展览和广告,故得以遍游许多城市和名山大川,积累了丰富的形象思维素材和资料。直至今日,这些经历仍然是其艺术创作中取之不竭的源泉。1985年5月他在上海徐汇区文化馆举办首次个人画展,时年仅24岁。1989年,通过两位瑞士艺术家的引荐,进入日内瓦美术学院学习。五年后获本科文凭。从此开始绘制巨型素描和油画。这些巨幅作品的尺寸,小的有3×6米,大的则达6×12米;耗时短则6个月,长则竟逾两年。在艺术形式与内容的探索上,他也进入到一个独特的境界,即以中国文革一代人的特殊生活经历为题材,融中国传统绘画之审美观和西方绘画之技法于一炉,使作品既具有惊人的张力,又显得如此婉转抒情。历年来他多次获奖,其中有日内瓦美术学院毕业生一等奖、巴黎国际艺术中心考察奖、日内瓦优秀艺术家工作室奖(二年制)及瑞士联邦美术大奖。其作品多次在瑞士、法国、中国展出,并被众多艺术基金会和私人收藏。 Qiu Jie, pen name “Ta-xiang Shan-ren” (Recluse from a Distant Land), was born in Shanghai in 1961. As a child, Qiu Jie was left to the care of his grandparents in Shanghai when his parents were relocated to Anhui province in support of the development of small cities. Raised by his grandparents, Qiu Jie began drawing at the age of ten. He would practice many hours each day by tracing newspaper images of workers, farmers, and soldiers. When Qiu Jie was in the middle school, he usually drew in his friend’s studio until midnight. In 1978, his extraordinary record enabled him to skip a grade and be admitted to the Art Department of the Shanghai Light Industry College. After graduation, he worked as an art designer in an instrument company in Shanghai for six years. During this period, his job took him to several cities and provinces throughout China where he organized product displays and advertisements. These travels brought him the opportunities to see the wide land and visit famous sites, through which Qiu accumulated a large amount of inspiration and graphics that constantly serve as an inexhaustible source of his creation up to now. Qiu held his first solo exhibition in May 1985 at Xuhui Cultural Center in Shanghai when he was merely twenty-four. Recommended by two Swiss artists, he enrolled into the Academy of Fine Arts in Geneva in 1989, and obtained his Bachelor Degree five years later. Thence he began to work on large-scale drawings and oil paintings. The size of his artworks started from 3 by 6 meters up to 6 by 12 meters, which usually required six months to two years to complete. Meanwhile Qiu stepped onto a unique level when exploring his artistic forms and contents. Choosing his special life experience from being one of the Chinese Cultural Revolution generations as a theme, Qiu combined the aesthetics of traditional Chinese painting and the techniques of Western painting, which endows his artworks with a dynamic tension borne out of incongruity and poetry. Qiu obtained many achievements during the past years, including the First Prize of the Geneva Academy of Fine Arts Graduates, Paris-based International Art Center Award for inspection, Geneva Award for Outstanding Artist Studio (two-year), and the Swiss Federal Art Prize. His artworks were frequently exhibited in Switzerland, France, and China, and also collected by many art foundations and individual collectors.

自述:无论是素描,油画还是装置,一切都只是我创作的载体。通过这些载体,我最想要展示的并非是我的绘画技艺,也不是其中被附加的政治色彩,而是想要表达出我几十年如一日对绘画本质的追求,以及我在创作过程中执着不懈的精神状态。
