Contemporary by Angela Li presents young artist Du Yuqing’s solo exhibition Each According to its Kind, a series of works that he attempts to go beyond a realistic and meticulous style of depiction. To him, over-emphasizing directivity and skills is an ostentatious constraint to creativity. He fuses unexpected and bizarre elements onto the canvas as a way to observe their dynamism of mutually existing in time and space. The mass yet spontaneous production of artworks has given the artist an opportunity to refine his ideas and affirm his creative direction.

Du Yuqing was born in Liaoning Province, China in 1982. In 2009, he obtained MFA in Oil Painting from Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in Liaoning Province. He participated in the Busan Biennale in Korea in 2011 and also exhibited his artworks in Beijing and Shanghai.
