This is the first monograph to give an overview of the entire career to date of artist Ding Yi (b. 1962), whose work, unlike most other well-known Chinese painters, is wholly abstract.
Large in scale, and extraordinary in detail, Ding Yi''s paintings invite a myriad of questions, not least how an intuitive artist works with recurrent patterns and symbols.
Tackling this paradox, the authors discuss a range of questions pertinent to the artist, primary of which is how China has shaped his work, both culturally and environmentally, over the past thirty years.
Based on extensive interviews with the artist, Ding Yi presents a definitive portrait of an important contemporary painter, who holds a unique position in Chinese art historyAs such, it is essential reading for fans and the uninitiated alike.
