Description from the seller

Su Xiaobai
Etching and aquatint signed and numbered 40 in pencil.
Very beautiful textural effects.

Perfect condition

Careful international shipping

Su Xiaobai lives between China and Germany. He has developed a body of work that is sensuous and rigorous, unclassifiable, whose preferred medium, lacquer, is deeply rooted in Chinese history. His works, at once hedonistic and mystical, possess a decisive sculptural force. Rather than representing objects, his art questions the very idea of Being. At the heart of his approach, Su’s work employs a visual language to embody issues 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. Group exhibitions include Accidents [Part I] (2020), Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong, China; Abstract by Nature (2019), Sean Kelly Gallery, New York, USA; The World Is Yours, as Well as Ours (2016), White Cube, Mason’s Yard, London, UK; Jing Shen: The Act of Painting in Contemporary China (2015), PAC Milan Museum of Contemporary Art, Italy; Perfection by Chance—A Yi Pai Series Exhibition (2015), Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong, China; Where Does It All Begin? Contemporary Abstract Art in Asia and the West (2014), Pearl Lam Galleries, Singapore; Chinese Contemporary Abstract: 1980s until Present: MINDMAP (2012), Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong, China; and Yi Pai: Thirty Years of Chinese Abstraction (2008), Beijing, China and Madrid, Spain.
