The neo countryside - Dushan ecological art gallery was completed

Dushan art gallery locates in a remote valley of Wang Weishan village, Huang Hu town, Yuhang，Hangzhou, covering more than 30 mu. Our gallery is made up of some bungalows accompanied by breeze, moon and starry night, casually visited by swans. Shadows of clouds linger on and aromatic herbs grow around with dancing bamboos. We look for the simplicity and being content as Xu Wenchang did; enjoy the idyllic life as Tao yuanming described “I built my hut in the world of men, Yet there is no din of carriage and horse.”Our gallery devoted to collecting contemporary Chinese prints and exhibiting them regularly. Zao Wou-ki’s grandness, Chu The-qun’s lyricism and Ting, Walasse’s wildness present another view of beautiful heart. More>>>

But "The Baroque Woodcut" at the National Gallery of Art includes 80 old master prints, all of which were made that way, and they aren't simple at all. More>>>

About my creations-preface by Chen Yuqiang

It is forty years since I was involved in printmaking and my career as a graphic artist started in my school days when, a middle school student, I tried to do woodcut just for fun without anticipating that I would spend a lifetime to scale the heights of graphic art.
