  • Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum by Weimin He and Shelagh Vainker

    Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum

    I attempt to employ the strengthened or distored traditional icon (in art) to 'indiscriminately apply' traditional subject matter and reorganize it, in order to experiment with the icon's polysemy and the possibility of reinterpreting traditional imagery.

    After graduation, in 1986, from the Printmaking Department of the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, Sui Cheng taught at the Fine Art Department of Shenyang University Normal College. He later became deputy head of the faculty. He is now a professor at Shenzhen University College of Art, and also works as an editor of the journal Chinese Printmaking. Sui works on both printmaking and installation, specialising in monochrome woodcut with a rough liner style and implied figures. Inspired by the semiotics of art, he has been endeavouring to create his own distinctive visual symbols.
