Qin Tan

Qin Tan (b.1993, Beijing, China) is a painter and video artist based in New Jersey, USA. She received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and has since exhibited work regionally and internationally. Tan's pieces explore the symbiotic nature of science and mythology- the intersection of natural and virtual phenomena. Though she is trained as a traditional painter, her explorations have bloomed into different methods of expression, including experimental video narratives, sculptures and installations. These works reflect her introspective and contemplative ideas regarding the human condition since modernity, like notes left from an observer that has witnessed the development of scientific tools and the creation of virtual landscapes.
