彩虹天使・虹 Rainbow Angel— Iris (Hong)
创作灵感 Inspiration
自2010年 《彩虹天使》在香港展览的横空出世,由此缘定了稀奇艺术品牌的初生。
作为是稀奇艺术发展历程中的最重要的IP和代表形象,稀奇的天使从当代艺术家瞿广慈的艺术原作中、最具代表性的“小胖人”形象转化而来,长着西方天使的翅膀,却拥有东方人的面孔,作为东、西方双重文化的结合体,传递着属于中国人自己语境中的祝福与情感。
同时,艺术家从中国古语中汲取灵感: “虹双出色。鲜盛者为雄,雄日虹。 淡者为雌,雌日露”为稀奇的“男天使”取名为“虹”,其浓郁的多巴胺色彩,为生活带来充满阳光的快乐能量,正如“彩虹”所象征的希望与美好之意,愿这般明媚的心情与祝福,可以相伴你的每一天。
Since the spectacular debut of Rainbow Angel at its exhibition in Hong Kong in 2010, the foundation for the XIQI ART brand was set in motion.
Serving as the most iconic image in XIQI ART's history, the angel originated from renowned contemporary artist Qu Guangci’s original art piece, specifically derived from his signature "Little Chubby" figure. Combining Western angelic wings with an Eastern visage, XIQI's Angel embodies a cultural fusion of East and West, conveying blessings and emotions uniquely resonant within the Chinese context.
Simultaneously, artist Qu Guangci drew inspiration from ancient Chinese literature: "Double rainbows are distinguished by their colors; the vivid one is male, called 'Hong' (Iris), and the pale one is female, called 'Lu' (Ni)." Accordingly, the male Rainbow Angel was named "Hong." His vivid, dopamine-rich colors infuse everyday life with bright, joyful energy, symbolizing the hopeful beauty of a rainbow. May such radiant positivity and blessings accompany you every day.

瞿广慈
作为中国艺术界含金量最高的奖项——每五年一次的第八届全国美展大奖,有史以来最年轻的获得者,瞿广慈从90年代走出学院的大门,到在全世界受邀参展的不到十年间,便以其才华横溢的“革命的浪漫主义”、“集体主义”等系列作品为代表,成为了中国当代艺术中最有影响力的雕塑家之一。其标志性作品“小胖人”的形象,不仅是中国当代艺术视觉中具有社会影响力的经典符号,也代表着其非凡的原创力,延续至稀奇艺术的生命之中。
Qu Guangci, the youngest-ever winner of the Grand Prize at the prestigious 8th National Art Exhibition of China—a top honor in the Chinese art world—emerged from academia in the 1990s, swiftly gaining international recognition within less than a decade. Renowned for his compelling series of artworks such as Revolutionary Romanticism and Collectivism, Qu's creative brilliance has established him as one of China's leading contemporary artists, receiving global invitations to exhibit. His iconic and vibrant artistic style, characterized by revolutionary romanticism and collective symbolism, has significantly influenced the visual identity and continuing legacy of XIQI ART, bringing forth renewed life and creative expression.
