Ying Tianqi (b. 1949)

Xidi Village Series No. 5

1988

Woodblock print

49 x 60 cm

​

This one of more than thirty prints which Ying made based on the vernacular architecture of Xidi village in Yi county, Anhui province (south-eastern China). The printing blocks for these works were created by affixing a collage of differently-textured materials onto a thin sheet of plywood, which was then printed by relief-printing techniques. One of China’s most renowned printmakers, Ying has also turned to painting with multi-media collage techniques. Architectural memories are still his inspiration.
