Su Xiaobai hails from a prominent generation of artists who left China in the wake of political and cultural experimentation in the 1980s. He adopted lacquer, a medium traditionally used by Chinese craftsmen, as his explorative means and fashioned a sensuous yet rigorous art practice that defies classification. Inspired but not constrained by Chinese artisanship and aesthetics, Su Xiaobai creates gargantuan compositions that speak, in a language informed by Western abstraction, the Buddhist mantra \"All reality is a phantom; all phantoms are real.\" Luscious and mysterious, his body of work is defiantly sculptural yet exquisitely delivered-a constellation of extraordinary objects.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43027234127961,"sku":"PR916204","price":165.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBJ6BAX9B6F.jpg?v=1769721768","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/su-xiaobai","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
