Su Xiaobai lives between China and Germany. He has developed a body of work that is both sensual and rigorous, unclassifiable, with lacquer as his preferred medium, deeply rooted in Chinese history. His works, both hedonistic and mystical, possess a strong sculptural force. Rather than depicting objects, his art questions the very idea of Being. At the core of his approach, Su's work employs visual language to embody issues that are both philosophical and, on a human daily level, universal.
He is internationally recognized. His solo exhibitions include: Niao Niao (2025), Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong, China; Su Xiaobai: Blue (2022–23), Tina Keng Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan; Su Xiaobai (2014), Almine Rech Gallery, Paris, France.
