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 Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
