The art of relief printing from Sweden

Xylon means wood in ancient Greek, a material human beings got to know early on and made images and imprints and books from, predecessors to the mass production of our time. Xylon has also given name to an international artists??? alliance, started in the 1940???s in Belgium by Masereel and has by now spread all over the world.

Today Xylon does not only mean wood. It includes all kinds of media that uses relief???s to print, from nature to synthetic material, metal, photo media, and artist books. It has always retained its magic.

Now for the first time we present the art of Swedish relief print on a larger scale in China. It gives us a reference, a chance to compare between our two cultures that have long experiences of the art, to see what and how it has happened, and where it leads us.

Wind from borderland

　Wood block reduction printing gained its name after 1995. Wood block reduction printing is called so because the board on which the artist makes carvings is no longer printable after the last printing stage. It combines the skills of painting, cutting and printing. The board is naturally destroyed during the evolution of the print. The characteristic of cutting while printing gives full play to the features of uncertainty and chance. At the same time, the beauty of cutting marks of prints is fully expressed.

This exhibition will present you the wood block reduction printing
of the artists:He Kun,Zhang Xiaochun,Ma Li and their students.
Welcome to exhibition opening!

Opening:8pm March 17,2007
