Moonlight Halo

2013

Su Xiaobai

Chinese, born 1949

Asian Art

Su Xiaobai engages both Western abstraction and the traditional Chinese medium of lacquer in creating this painting, at once luminous and opaque. Su says this painting was inspired by Buddhist philosophy and by Ming and Qing dynasty blue-and-white porcelains.
