The Alchemy of Ink: Xie Tian Solo Exhibition
What happens when ink breaks free from the boundaries of paper?
This September, Memor Museum presents a solo exhibition by Xie Tian, Associate Professor at the China Academy of Art. Featuring 17 representative works spanning ink, mixed media, and glass installations, the exhibition explores the contemporary transformation of traditional Chinese ink within three-dimensional space.
By deconstructing Chinese characters, calligraphic forms, and classical brushwork, Xie Tian allows ink to move beyond the flat surface—creating an immersive dialogue between Eastern aesthetics, material experimentation, and contemporary space.
Xie Tian’s works have received international recognition and have been collected by institutions including the Musée Cernuschi in Paris and the Bastille Design Center.
