Chen Qi (b. 1963)

Fan No. 1

1991

Woodblock print

40 x 47 cm

​

This beautiful print contrasts the simple, painterly design of the fan with the background’s finely graded woodgrain. In his long career, Chen Qi has been a great experimenter and versatile innovator. His prints cover a wide range of subject matter, including landscape and urban scenes, and various series depicting single objects, such as instruments (no. 121), lotuses and furniture. He has also engaged in more spiritual and philosophical enquiries, with series of butterflies, waterscapes and abstract imagery.
