Chinese artist Tai Xiangzhou has carefully studied the Chinese Old Masters in order to create a new pictorial language meaningful to the world of today. Emerging as one of the most distinguished artists working today, his practice has focused on refreshing the tradition of Chinese landscape painting, Xiangzhou is inspired by the monumental paintings of the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) and he has used this influence to expand his aesthetic perspective into works that incorporate cosmology, astrology and contemporary science.

About the Hosts
Michael Goedhuis
In the early 1990s Michael Goedhuis began dealing Chinese modern and contemporary art and was the first dealer in the West to enter this field with a series of important exhibitions including the pioneering exhibition at Sotheby’s, New York, in 2001 China Without Borders: Chinese Contemporary Art. Most of his activity since then has been directed at describing both the resurgence of cultural activity in the China of today and the key relevance of Chinese Ink art to contemporary aesthetics. In addition to representing the best contemporary Chinese artists, his activities now include exhibiting work by the best of the new generation of Western artists, both painters and sculptors.
