Liu Qingyuan (b. 1972)

On the Train

1998

Woodblock print

31 x 24 cm

​

Li Qingyuan says his art’s purpose is to observe “the fast-changing and bizarre life” around him, “like an amusing and informal experiment in which tradition finds its parodies in contemporary life.” The style of this print resembles the crudely cut works of the early Modern Woodcut Movement (late 1920s-early 30s), but the technique is different: the white lines and marks--the cut areas-- are negative, revealing the black marks and shapes that form the image.
