Catalogue Note

Born in Inner Mongolia in China in 1960, Su Xinping received training in painting and printmaking at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 1983 before enrolling and graduating with a Master degree in Printmaking from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1989. He is currently the Deputy Professor and the Deputy Head of Department of Printmaking in the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Su Xinping’s works in the early nineties transformed the relationship between the artist, the painting and the audience into an intimate relation between the heart and an individual interested in humanity, self recognition, and sympathy. Su has exhibited worldwide, featuring in shows like “Faces and Bodies of the Middle Kingdom” at the Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague (1997) and “Inside Out: New Chinese Art” at the Asia Society Galleries in New York (1998).
