Artist

Ding Liangxian

Ding Liangxian is a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ding Liangxian carved delicate scenes into polychrome woodblocks, layering ink and color to build rich, layered prints. Their untitled work in the collection shows a quiet riverside village where willows dip into water and boats rest half-hidden under trees. The print’s soft blues and greens feel like a snapshot of a place you might pass on a slow boat ride through the Yangtze delta.

Look closer and you’ll spot the fine lines that give the scene its breathing depth. Tap into Ding’s Untitled to trace the same banks and branches yourself.
