Ye Xingqian was born in 1963 in Leqing, Zhejiang, China. A self-taught artist, he learned painting and sculpture with his older brother at a very early age. From the age of sixteen, he earned his living by making calligraphies for religious ceremonies in temples. He exhibited his work for the first time in 1980 in his hometown.
Ye arrived in France in 1983, where he discovered contemporary Western painting and was particularly interested in abstraction.
The artist gradually integrated it into his art, initially adapting ink and paper to his new compositions.
Since the 2000s, Ye has been working with ink on paper and also with oil on canvas.
In 2019 a major touring exhibition in eight important Chinese museums was organized and a major solo exhibition is dedicated to him in 2020 at the prestigious Liu Haisu Museum in Shanghai.
