Ai Xuan is considered one of the most outstanding Chinese
contemporary realist painters. In 2004, working together with other
leading Chinese painters using a realist style, he formed an
artistic group called Beijing Realism, later renamed Chinese
Realism. This group has since become the key force shaping the
promotion of realism in Chinese contemporary painting, including an
annual national exhibition of realist paintings. Overcoming the
tragedies of his poet father, Ai Qing, political movements, and his
turmoil-infused childhood, Xuan transforms all these harsh life
experiences into his artistic creations. These works lead readers
into the inner world of someone who is able to capture his sympathy
for helplessness in life through paintings with astonishing
precision. This thoughtfully curated book reviews his art career
through a selection of his most representative masterpieces from
each stage of his development, alongside comprehensive analysis by
the art critic and professor Hsiung Yi Ching.
