Xie Nanxing's Painterly Sentiment in Chinese Art Dossier
The May 2003 issue of art press features a dossier on contemporary Chinese art, timed with the exhibition 'Alors, la Chine ?' at Centre Pompidou (May 25–October 13, 2003) and the subsequent Year of China in France (October 2003–July 2004). The dossier contrasts French and Chinese perspectives on the recent rise of Chinese art. It highlights painter Xie Nanxing, whose works oscillate between violent mutilation imagery and an airy brushstroke softness.
