Ying Tianqi 应天齐（b. 1949）

​

Ying Tiangqi graduated from Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing in 1985. This is one of more than thirty prints which Ying made that were based on the vernacular architecture of Xidi village in Yi county, Anhui, made between 1986 and 1994. The printing blocks for these works were created by affixing a collage of differently-textured material onto a thin sheet of plywood which was then printed by relief-printing techniques. These prints have won many prestigious awards and are collected by many museums and institutions around the world, including China National Gallery of Fine Arts.  Ying teaches at the College of Arts in Shenzhen University. 

Chen Yuping 陳玉平（b. 1947, Heilongjiang）

​

Chen Yuping, who grew up in a rural village in Heilongjiang, originally trained as an hydraulic engineer at the Heilongjiang Hydraulic Engineering College, graduating in 1968. Following graduation he worked as an hydraulic technician on the Hulin State Farm, an area of reclamation situated within the vast uncultivated areas of Heilongjiang. In the 1960s he changed direction. Due to the closure of schools and colleges for many years during the Cultural Revolution, it was 1973 before Chen was able to join a basic art class, and completed a course in printmaking at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1983. Chen is a member of the Chinese Artists Association and is recognised by the state as a professional artist. His work has been regularly selected for inclusion in national exhibitions, and has been shown in Canada, Japan, Russia, the USA and other countries. His prints are firmly located within the traditions of the Great Northern Wilderness School of Printmaking, recognisable in their subject matter of the landscape of north-eastern China and their use of opaque oil-bound inks that give brilliant effects of colour.

​

Cao Ou was born in Heze in Shandong in 1987. He graduated in 2015 with an MA from the Printmaking Department of the China Academy of Art. Cao lives and works as a freelance artist in Hangzhou.

Guo Shuang 郭双 （b. 1990）

​

Guo Shuang was born in Zhoukou in Henan. In 2014 she graduated with a BA from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts and was Young Artist-in-residence at the Academy between 2014 and 2015. Since 2018 she has been studying for an MA at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.  She is a member of the Chinese Artists Association. Guo won joint First Prize at the First Muban Educational Trust Woodblock Printmaking Awards in 2015.

​

Guo Shuang’s prints are mostly monochrome. She is a master cutter with superb skills. She cut most of her prints on pearwood blocks, which she has assembled a large pile and stored them in her parent’s backyard. She cuts blocks out along the planks, keeping both edges of the planks bark intact. So all her blocks are of different shapes, some are imperfect, with natural damages or of insects’ scars. She usually also prints both edges of the planks to form part of the print.

He Sanqing 何三青 （b. 1988）

​

He Sanqing was born in Shaoyang in Hunan in 1988. He graduated in 2018 with a BA as a specialist printmaker from the China Academy of Art. He is currently a lecturer at the China Central Science and Technology University. He was awarded the First Prize in the Third Muban Educational Trust Woodblock Printmaking Awards in 2018. He is a member of the Chinese Artists Association.

 

His Neither Mountain Nor Water series have been widely collected and exhibited.

​

In Muban Educational Trust’s exhibition Lu Xun’s Legacy, curator Mary Ginsberg comments: 

​

He Sanqing skilfully exploits the tonal range possible with Chinese ink, calling to mind the traditional Chinese principle that, “If you have ink, you have all the five colours”.

​

In the exhibition Modern Impressions—Light and Water in Chinese Prints at the Cleveland Museum of Art (4 Nov 2022 – 7 May 2023), curator Dr Clarissa von Spee, Chair of Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art, comments: 

​

This series of five prints transforms landscape elements into abstract patterns while referencing the monochrome tradition of classical ink landscape painting. He Sanqing presses differently shaped and textured, black inked blocks of wood over a grid of preconfigured lines on a sheet of xuan paper. The result are impressions of remarkable variety in texture, monochrome ink shades and shapes. The title, Neither Mountain Nor Water, negates the subject of mountains and water (shan shui) in favour of and with an emphasis on graphic abstraction.

Li Yuxuan 李雨萱 （b. 1991）

​

Li Yuxuan was born in 1991 and received her MA from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. The Academy is traditionally known for its monochrome woodcuts of remarkable refinement and detail. In continuing the institution’s legacy, Li’s prints are exquisite, small and cut with intriguing detail.

​

Two of the eight Biodiversity prints are collected by The Cleveland Museum of Art and is currently being displayed at MODERN IMPRESSIONS – Light and Water in Chinese Prints  (November 11, 2022-May 7, 2023, Gallery 240A).


Dr, Clarissa von Spee, Chair of Asian Art and James and Donna Reid Curator of Chinese Art, wrote:

​

In these two prints, Li Yuxuan creates the silhouette of an insect cut out in delicate lines from a small wooden block. Indentations on the block create a pointillist texture of white dots that sets the insect against what looks like a diffusion of light. The images provoke the association with insects caught and preserved millions of years ago in semi-transparent amber.  Biodiversity points to our heritage of nature and a fragile ecosystem.

Wang Chao 王超 (b. 1974, Shandong) 

​

Wang Chao was awarded his undergraduate degree by the China National Academy of Fine Arts in 1998 and a master’s degree in 2007. Wang is currently a Deputy-Professor with responsibility for the traditional woodblock printing studio, called the Purple Bamboo Studio (Zizhuzhai 紫竹齋), in the Department of Printmaking. The quality of his work has been recognised with numerous awards, including the Fukuoka Gallery Prize in 1998, and the Bronze Medal at the Twelfth Zhejiang Provincial Exhibition of Art in 2009. Wang’s prints are held in the collections of many major museums and collections including, the British Library, the British Museum, the Portland Museum, the Ashmolean Museum. the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the National Museum of Israel, and the Muban Educational Trust. 

​

Wang is an acknowledged expert in the making and printing of douban 餖版 blocks with water-soluble colour. The blocks, which are little larger than the printing area, are cut from fragments of pear wood and each block must be registered separately. Many of Wang’s prints employ more than twenty individual douban blocks. 

​

Wang makes multiple allusions to the past in both technique and in subject matter. The fine lines, refined colouring and subtle tonalities are reminiscent of illustrative printing from the Ming and Qing periods. Reflecting the ‘new literati’ interest in traditional culture that emerged in the post-Mao period, his subjects are often a witty contemporary take on historical visual and literary genres.

Wu was born in 1986 in Pingba county in Guizhou. In 2010, he graduated with a BA from the Printmaking Department of the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, and in 2017 with an MA in printmaking from the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
