Features: This book may not be able to present a full picture of the creation in the contemporary Chinese printmaking field, but it can provide a perspective, showcasing from one side the different thoughts of contemporary Chinese printmakers standing at a new era and historical height. Every accomplished contemporary Chinese printmaker undoubtedly bases their creation on profound reflections on the significant changes in cultural development worldwide and the current cultural context of China. As a medium, printmaking can serve as a materialized expression and presentation of such reflections. In their works, we can easily discover their creative passion and expressiveness, an unyielding spirit of exploration, but more importantly, whether it is the innovation of printmaking language, the personalization of artistic paradigms, the enhancement of self-transcendence capabilities, or the humanistic concern for contemporary aesthetics, their essence remains the profound reflection and contemporaneity of such thoughts.
