Photoetching and aquatint
Su Xiaobai's Big Inkstone 3 (2018) is an etching and aquatint that embodies a minimalist approach, focusing on texture and form. The composition presents a dark, square-like shape with subtle, distressed details around the edges, evoking the appearance of an aged inkstone. The central area holds a faint circular impression, adding depth and a sense of quiet introspection. The use of photoetching and aquatint techniques enhances the tactile quality of the work, giving it an organic and meditative character. This limited edition print, produced in an edition of 40, reflects Su Xiaobai's interest in the materiality and essence of objects, encouraging viewers to find beauty in simplicity.

What is Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
