Abstract:
Published to coincide with a solo exhibition of the work by Liu Dan (b.1953), to be displayed in the Khoan and Michael Sullivan Gallery for Chinese Painting at the Ashmolean. Liu Dan is one of China's leading artists, at the forefront of the generation of painters who have been working in radically new ways in the traditional medium of ink. The exhibition will include a painting presented to the museum by the artist in honour of Michael Sullivan (1916-2013) and which was exhibited in Liu Dan's 2013 exhibition at Suzhou Museum, for which Professor Sullivan wrote a catalogue essay. In view of this connection, the exhibition will focus on Michael Sullivan's interest in east-west connections in painting, and Liu Dan's own interest in old masters both Chinese and European, with an emphasis on rock paintings and landscapes. Exhibition: Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK (20.10.2016-26.02.2017).
