初为绘事的钱永宁，也做设计，却在摄影中，终找到最合心的影像表现方式。近作《存在》系列，就是他的一个成果，一部尝试集。
在这一系列里，他拍摄的，常是野草。无人注目，但顽强不息，是这样的生命之存在。借着野草，他学着以冷静的视角，来观看万物生命的循环不息。他说，“野草就是我吧，虽然处于都市”。同生天地间，野草所需的那一点土，一点阳光雨露，于他，就是艺术。他可以在这里，真诚地体验着一切，再传递出来，如能唤起一些人的同感或思考，就很满足了。
在新作中，他将所拍的野草，与其他的肖像、或物并置，共成一幅更大的作品。并置的原则，是“左右互相衬托，意境相通”。如此，拍只是一个初始的记录，之后还有编织，直到出来合心的图像。这确实是一个好的方法，因单一张图像的含义常就是模糊的，但经由并置二三或更多张后，彼此间，会交互确认出一种心绪。
如此，当问及创作中遇到的最大挑战时，他说来自是否达意，是否单纯与真。为抵此，他一再练习的，是如何保持思绪自然流淌。但有杂念，气韵就不得平了。昔者，如《庄子》中的梓庆，削木为鐻之前，必先心斋七日，忘吾而后有所为。艺术之于心的滋养，不即如是？我们亦随时的，可借此，训练我们的心，观察心，看干扰的是什么。
《齐物》一展，如此亦可说，是钱永宁的一个修持。我们可感受到，其中有甚默契者，一气呵成的。但也有，是看过，心头偶一结的。他将它们，多少也保留了下来，得说，真是一种诚恳，乃至是一种提醒。如此，更让人期待，他的问物，将抵于何样的境界。
但潜行也，或许寂寥，必有回响。

Before making any photographs, Qian Yongning was a designer and painter. As a result, “Existence,” his most recent project, contains a number of moments where the three media seem to bleed into one another – it is a series of attempts to bridge the gaps among them and the resulting reverberations.
In the series, Qian often trains his lens on wild grasses – although usually unnoticed by passersby, Qian endows them with a liveliness and tenacity, and he says they have helped him calmly observe the cycle of life. “I’m just like these wild grasses, even though I live in the city,” he said. Living under the same sky, art for Qian is as important as mud for wild grasses. Through art, he can experience everything in good faith and then pass on his impressions to provoke similar feelings and thoughts in others. In this way, he is satisfied.
In Qian’s new work, he juxtaposes photographs of his beloved grasses with portraits or still lives to form a greater project. He creates his pairings by “arranging those photos that elevate each other and share a similar conception.” Shooting forms merely an initial raw record, which needs keen editing and sequencing to form the resulting visual language. Since the meaning of a single image is often limited and vague, putting images together helps Qian create a result that carries more emotion.
When asked about the greatest challenge faced during his creation process, Qian said it is creating a visual languages with pure intention that accurately reflects himself. To try to achieve such a thing, Qian rigorously practiced keeping his thoughts natural, fluid, and undisturbed. He models himself after the craftsman Zi Qing, a figure in the writings of Zhuangzi who calms his heart for seven days and forgets his own existence before entering the woods to make a bell stand. Art nurtures Qian’s heart, allowing him to observe what is actually disturbing his mind.
Similar words can be said about the exhibition “From Infinity to One,” which is the result of Qian’s piety. In this work, we can feel sparkling chemistry alongside a well-paced melancholy. He keeps both of them in his work – a kind reminder to make the audience wonder where his existential questioning will lead.
As a stalker of the ultimate truth, Qian’s work might seem silent at times, but it will eventually echo thunderously.

Artist Introduction
Associate Professor, Postgraduate Student Supervisor, School of Art and Design, Shanghai University of Engineering Science.
Having immersed in the realm of art for so many years, Qian finds there exist no clear boundaries between different types of art. Instead of faithfully reproducing those real-life details, he has been trying to reveal the inner world behind those ordinary scenes, by creating and manipulating artistic images and figures which can best interpret his feelings, attitudes, and understanding of life and the world.
Qian's photographic work has been frequently exhibited in China, US, France, UK, Japan, Greece. He has had a number of successful books published in his field of practice: Mirror (photobook), Status (photobook), 21st Century Outstanding Young Artists – Qian Yongning. Many of his artwork pieces have been collected by museums, art galleries, various institutions, and art collectors locally and internationally.
Qian's numerous awards include (but not limited to):
2nd Prize, Fine Art Photography Awards (London, UK),
Nominee, Photography Masters Cup (Los Angeles, US)
Juror Awards of Merit, International Fine Art Photography Awards (Paris, France)
Honor Award, Center Forward Exhibition at The Center for Fine Art Photography (Fort Collins, the US)
In addition to his photographic work, Qian also received multiple national awards in his gouache and oil paintings.
