This week of December 17, 2012, I have been a visiting artist at the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts. My friend, artist Chen Qi, whom I have exhibited with in several survey exhibitions in China and Europe, invited me to visit his studio. Chen Qi’s work in printmaking is the most fascinating I have seen in China, and I would say, anywhere. Using large, custom made sheets of hand-made paper, Chen prints by rubbing ukiyo-e style using water based inks without printing press. Each print presented here was produced applying over 100 individual woodblocks. He pulled out many of his prints and blocks. It was just wonderful to see this great work in person.

Witt Visiting Artist Fang Limin
On March 18 and 20, artist and professor Fang Limin will present a lecture on contemporary Chinese printmaking and conduct a workshop in water-based relief block printmaking at Stamps Print Studios.
A member of the Chinese Artists’ Association, Fang Limin is one of the foremost artists and educators in the field of contemporary printmaking in China. Fang’s work, noted for its innovative use of traditional printmaking methods, has been exhibited nationally and has represented China in major international print biennials and triennials. Most recently Fang’s work was shown in Multiple Impressions: Contemporary Chinese Woodblock Prints, curated by Xiaobing Tang and presented at the University of Michigan Museum of Art in 2011.
A short film about Fang Limin’s water-based relief printing method was produced by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
Illustrations by Arianna Vairo make me itch to draw myself. This is a major inspiration.
