Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum
It is necessary for a real artist to create something that his predecessors have never been able to do before, that is, something concerning his own times.
Su Xinping served in the army as a film projectionist in the late 1970s. He graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 1983 and went back to teach fine art at the Inner Mongolia Normal University. In 1989, he obtained a Master’s degree from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. He is presently the head of the Printmaking Department there. He is one of the few artists who work primarily with lithographic technique, and he has taken the people and land of Inner Mongolia as his main subject matter. Since the mid-1990s, the focus of his work has turned to depicting the turbulent reality caused by rapid social transformation.
