Photoetching and aquatint // Big Inkstone 1 by Su Xiaobai is an intriguing etching and aquatint that explores depth and texture through a minimalist approach. Created in 2016, this limited edition piece (one of 40) evokes the appearance of an ancient inkstone, with dark, layered tones and subtle variations that suggest the weight and materiality of stone. The central circular form, faintly outlined, draws the viewer's eye into the center of the composition, imbuing it with a meditative quality. Su Xiaobai’s work often bridges traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary abstraction, and Big Inkstone 1 reflects this synthesis. Measuring 76 cm by 77 cm, the piece invites contemplation, evoking themes of time, endurance, and cultural heritage through its restrained yet profound design.
