Su Xinping

Su Xinping’s ambitious project for the Neiman Center references classical Chinese landscape painting but reframes it in light of today’s most pressing environmental crises. The seemingly serene mountain vista, made using the technique of photogravure, is spread across 24 distinct sheets of hand-dyed paper. When the sheets are assembled, the print’s monumentality rivals its subject’s stately presence.

Su Xinping (b. 1960, Jining, Inner Mongolia) is a professor and Deputy Head of Printmaking at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing. His work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Portland Museum, the Singapore Art Museum and the Shanghai Art Museum and is in the collections of the British Museum and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, among others.
