Su Xiaobai spends his time between the cinema and Germany. He has developed a body of work that is at once sensual and rigorous, unclassifiable, in which the favored medium, lacquer, is deeply rooted in Chinese history. His works, both hedonistic and mystical, possess a clearly asserted sculptural strength. Rather than depicting objects, his art interrogates the very idea of Being. At the core of his approach, Su’s work uses a visual language to embody concerns that are both philosophical and, on a daily human level, universal.

He is internationally recognized. Among his solo exhibitions: 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.
