CAI XIAO SONG
Born in Shanghai in 1964, Cai Xiao Song graduated from the Art Academy of the Shanghai University. Trained in traditional Chinese ink painting techniques, Cai experimented with different types of art forms such as installations and oil paintings and travelled to Paris to pursue his artistic training. Rather than attending the academy, Cai travelled across Europe and in 1998 he returned to China to study Chinese calligraphy. Since 2002, Cai Xiao Song has been focussing on landscape painting and on creating subtle installations presenting the classical theme of the scholar’s rock in a new pictorial format.
