Printmaking and drawing are fundamental forms of human artistic creation. Though their appearances and techniques differ greatly, both forms embody artists’ profound explorations of technique, medium, and expression. “Tiangong Kaiwu”, a legacy of Ming dynasty Chinese scientist Song Yingxing, stands as a comprehensive work on ancient Chinese craftsmanship and scientific spirit. Its documentation of woodblock printing, ink usage, and material selection laid the groundwork for the development of printmaking. This exhibition begins with the spirit of “Tiangong Kaiwu”, presenting outstanding works by Eastern and Western artists to examine the technical heritage and contemporary potential of these art forms.
