Artist
Su Liupeng
Su Liupeng is a Ming dynasty painting artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Art Institute of Chicago.
Su Liupeng spent winters hunched over scrolls in Yangzhou, ink drying on his fingers and the scent of tea cooling beside him. He painted the same winter solstice scene in 1841, over and over, swapping thread colors like a tailor testing buttons. The repeated image feels like a seasonal ritual.
Dip into his quiet winter world through Using a Longer Thread on the Day of the Winter Solstice, a scroll you can zoom into line by line, notice how the thread’s length changes the mood of the whole scene.
