Written in beautiful poetic prose, Chinese Woodcut: The Art of Liu Chunjie takes the reader on a personal journey through this celebrated artist's life's work. Special edition, 200 copies, with a signed handmade bookplate.

Master printmaker Liu Chunjie is renowned for his beautiful woodcut art. Born to land reclamation workers in Heilongjiang Province's 856 Farm, Lui began life in a remote part of China that was deemed to be a place of cultural exile. But it is here that a vibrant chapter in the history of contemporary Chinese printmaking, known as Beidahuang Prints, was born.

Living and breathing woodcut art, Liu takes the reader on a personal journey through his life's work. Written in beautiful poetic prose, Liu describes how his art and the techniques he uses have developed over time, culminating in a stunning body of work that has made him the celebrated artist he is today.

Having experimented with colored ink, installation art and mixed-media painting, it is the spirit of woodcut that remains the foundation of Liu's art. Using ancient tools and materials, he creates works that embody modern concepts, elevating the essence of woodcut art to a new level.
