Utterly beautiful! I'm writing about the internees in WW2 who worked in wood and peeled lino off the floor to make lithographs(Ernst Blensdorf, Hermann Fechenback and others) They would be mesmerized to see how far Sun Xun has taken such a primal, solid, motionless art form and made it dance. A joy to watch. More please!

It looks like lino stuck onto a block = not a wood cut? I really like the idea of using a lightbulb to rub the paper down! What paper and what ink does he use please? Thank you for putting this up.

That’s not a wood block. It’s a LINOLEUM block

I am an artist and painting directly on board without sketch is beautiful and not many can do.Composition was overworked specially bottom rocks killing the beautiful bird feet.Its fine an artist makes dozens of crappy work before a great one.Its just a process one can't arrive at great work without producing tons of sub art.Its just the creative process.I am sure he has very beautiful ones.

Lol...when is the last time the Guggenheim or MoMA called you? This guy is one of the most successful chinese artists. Yeah, he has couple of good pieces.

Ruben Sahakian : I am sure Sun Xun can return to the boat to do further carving and in so doing will enable the bird's fine feet to be seen :^)

They didn't even bother to show the print in the end because it wasn't very good.

Art is highly subjective. A European tonal charcoal drawing cannot be compared to an East Asian Sumi Ink painting as a screen-printed poster cannot be judged on the same aesthetic value of a lithograph.

4:30 That's the print. It's a process video.

At 4:30 the image doesn't even occupy 10% of the screen and is shown for 1 second. The point of 'producing' art is to finally see the art.

Is this a response to my comment? I made none of these comparisons.
