Photoetching and aquatint // Big Inkstone 4 by Su Xiaobai is a limited edition etching and aquatint created in 2018. The work presents a deep, almost monochromatic square composition that evokes the textured, aged surface of an inkstone. The artist uses dark, earthy tones with subtle variations, accentuated by worn edges and faint circular impressions, giving the piece a meditative and timeless quality. This artwork’s heavy texture and restrained color palette reflect Su Xiaobai's fascination with materiality and the passage of time, inviting viewers to contemplate the natural beauty found in simplicity and imperfection. The piece conveys a quiet intensity, reminiscent of ancient stone or weathered walls.

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.
