Further details
Xu Xi was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province. After studying at Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, he worked as an editor and then a painter for the Beijing Art Press. He worked on charcoal sketching, caricatures and prints, and is best known for his atmospheric images of scenes from southern China during rain. These examples of abstract works and images that resemble calligraphic rubbings are among Xu Xi’s more experimental and innovative works.
