About the Artist
Du Xiaotong (b. 1972) was graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts. His ink practice evolved from early figurative painting to abstracted natural forms — sea, stone, bamboo. Working in minimal brushwork, layered washes, and expansive negative space, he constructs silent, contemplative planes that probe ink's temporal and spiritual dimensions. The Dao Ma Figures and Bamboo · Stone series distill philosophical inquiry into reduced form, extending the spiritual reach of ink abstraction. A leading voice in minimalist ink aesthetics.
