Chi Qun was born in Shandong, China. Chi Qun received a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree from Department of Mural Paintings in 2006 and 2010 respectively. As a proud disciple of abstract master Chen Wenji, she started to experiment with abstraction while at school. After years of experience, she has developed her own abstract visual language.

She held her first solo exhibition Two relationship: Solo Exhibition of Chiqun in Mingtai Space, Beijing. In the same year, Ginkgo Space, Beijing held her solo exhibition as well. In 2011, her work were exhibited in Micro Life in Soka Art Center, Taiwan and she participated in touring exhibition held by Art Nova 100.

The works of Chi Qun mainly comprise lines, but the lines here do not refer to the lines drawn by dipping the brush in paint but the lines produced from drawing on the image. Instead of adding the lines to the image, the lines are slashed. Such scrapping approach not only produces lines, but also expose the layered difference, developing a spacious space. Nonetheless, these lines are scrapped out and distributed to the entire image (in other words, the lines are distributed on the entire image), the space produced nearly never detaches from the bumpy lines to the image while these lines seem to continue vibrating on the image, bringing a certain intense perception to her works.

In spite of the still and dignified surface of the works created by Chi Qun, these are physical and spiritual activities of the soul, senses, spirit and ideas, which are presented on the image through a controlled means. These activities are integrated into one image. She does not intend to portray certain specific object or merely a comforting style of combination. Instead she attempts to present the one integrated state of soul, sense, spirit and ideas in her works. These physical and spiritual activities that could not be specifically portrayed are disclosed through lines, colors, spaces, and light assistance. Lines, colors, space, lighting and shadow are neutral elements; however, the artist applies these elements to realize one “state” and that is the state most close to the nature of the artist.
