This is the catalogue for the solo exhibition of Chinese artist Xie Nanxing at the Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, from November 2012 to January 2013.
'“The Second Round with a Whip” presents two new series of large-scale oil paintings by this evocative artist. One body of work, informally called the Canvas Prints series, is characterized by the works’ stippled surfaces. To create this effect, the artist places a panel of rough, woven canvas between his brush and the painting; the daubs of color that comprise the nebulous figures in the finished work are the result of paint passing through the cloth and onto the work’s surface. Seen over time, these whorls and dots of pigment give way to vivid scenes that are mutually constructed by the artist and the viewer. Another series on view is loosely based on illustrations found in an interior design catalogue, which Xie Nanxing transforms into suggestive spaces redolent with references both personal and historical.' - from Spalding's essay featured in the catalogue.
Includes a biography.
