牛安（1968年）生於中國上海，自幼學習書法、篆刻與油畫，畢業於日本東京武藏野美術大學。牛安的繪畫融入了多種文化背景下的精神，在她觸及不同國度的文化後，自然而然地將內心種種的體悟與感慨表現於作品中。在她的作品中可看到錯綜復雜的線條與抽象的符號，這是屬於她自己獨特的繪畫敘事，透過解開這些藏在畫中的密碼，也解開了作品與觀眾之間的單邊關係，了解到畫中蘊含的故事。

Ann Niu (b. 1968, Shanghai, China) skillfully trained by several Chinese calligraphy masters since childhood started oil painting when she was a teenager. Her works are often a maze-like set of complex lines created by energetically interlaced brush works. By much as in a pure state of mind, Ann Niu disassembles the unspoken word into strong strokes and symbolic impressions. The source of this intensity and the unsettling power emitted from her works could be caused by something she can trace back to her younger days. Her final artwork is filled with sceneries, scattered epics broken-down into letters and numbers; showing a labyrinth of secluded surroundings hidden in and around the painting. Hence, Ann Niu’s works extricate the once unilateral relation with the viewer to become more of a story-teller.
