Template:Chinese name Qu Leilei (曲磊磊, 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 founding members of the avant-garde "Stars Group", together with Ma Desheng, Wang Keping, Huang Rui, Li Shuang, Zhong Acheng and Ai Weiwei,[4][5][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]
