À propos de la quatrième de couverture

One of the most prestigious artists in Chinese contemporary art, Xiaobai Su is among a generation of legendary artists who left China in the 1980s. He adopts lacquer, a medium steeped in Chinese history, as his aesthetic means, and has developed a sensuous yet rigorous art practice that defies classification. Driven by Chinese tradition, Xiaobai Su creates intriguing and magnificent work that speaks a Western language of visual abstraction, with the Buddhist mantra "All reality is a phantom, and all phantoms are real" as its core. Luscious and mysterious, his body of work is defiantly sculptural yet exquisitely delivered - a constellation of extraordinary objects.
