Bian Qing was born in Tianjin, China in 1983. He currently lives and works in Beijing, China.
Bian graduated from the College of Fine Arts at Minzu University of China in 2009. Bian's paintings should not be classified as sketches, which aims to depict objects in a close-to-reality manner, although this operation relies on the senses as a medium. Bian does not believe in a singular, idealized reality. However, it is difficult to label his paintings as "subjective". Bian does not attempt to express emotions. His unique working method lies in his grasp of the "rules of sensibility".
