"Multiple Impressions" examines works by 40 leading printmakers
from contemporary China, highlighting the extraordinary
innovations, in both technique and conception, which have
transformed this long-established art form in recent years. It
includes works by such artists as Xu Bing, Kang Ning, Song Yuanwen,
Chen Qi, He Kun, and Fang Limin, as well as many other accomplished
printmakers.
Essays by noted scholars place contemporary printmaking in its
complex art historical and cultural contexts, discuss the
relationship between printmaking and contemporary art, and
interpret new work by the internationally prominent artist Xu Bing.
The book explores three key themes in printmaking today:
"Landscapes Old and New" illustrates the variety of techniques and
visual idioms contemporary printmakers draw on to create expressive
and fantastic landscapes; "Fellow Citizens" turns to the human
figure; and "Layered Abstractions" focuses on works that showcase
the distinct visual effects and pictorial language that underscore
the process of making a print.
