In line with the launch of the Pullman Artist Playground, “The Great Spiritual Pullman” series was specially created for Pullman Shanghai Jing An by Chinese painter Qin Ming. It is the first time that Qin Ming has used the modern Gong Bi painting techniques to merge them together with traditional art expression to create live vivid images for this theme. The inspiration of “The Great Spiritual Pullman” series came from a collection of beautifully crafted Chinese style flower pots and vases. After going through a careful consideration and design, Qin Ming then created a series of the modern Gong Bi paintings based on this collection. The exhibition will be available for viewing from now until February next year at the hotel lobby.

His paintings have been widely exhibited across mainland China and overseas, including the 5th Chinese, Japanese, Korean Art Show for Young Artists in 2006 and at the 5th Shanghai Art Exhibition in 2009. He is a lecturer at the Shandong Science and Technology College and he also guest lectures at the College of Fine Arts, Shanghai University.
