Template:Chinese name Qu Lei Lei (曲磊磊) (also Qu Leilei) (born 1951)[1] is a modern Chinese calligrapher, painter and author[2] currently based in the UK.
Qu grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and spent some time forced to work as a lumberjack after his parents were branded capitalists.[3] Later, he attended Beijing University and served as an art director at China Central Television.[3] In 1979, as one of 28 founding member of the influential "Star Group",[4][5] also called the Stars Art Movement,[6] Qu took part in the first exhibitions of contemporary art in China.[3] After Qu left China, he relocated to London to practice his art, lecture and exhibit internationally.[4] The author of a number of books, including The Simple Art of Chinese Calligraphy, The Simple Art of Chinese Brush Painting and The Simple Art of Tai Chi, his paintings were exhibited at a solo display in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford in 2005,[4] the first time in the Ashmolean Chinese exhibits that a show was devoted singly to the work of a living artist.[5][6] Also in 2005, he was one of three finalists for the Arts Council England "Pearl Award for Creative Excellence".[6]
