Xie Caomin’s creative work reveals an artist who routinely crosses boundaries; a continual process of negotiation between the disparate histories and modes of thinking that make up his own, unique, cultural understanding.

The complex forms of these paintings refer to the metaphysical images of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, images that serve as visualizations of the cosmos and aids to meditation. Indeed, in calling the series Mandala Xie Caomin reveals yet another facet of this artist’s creative persona; that is an active interest in Buddhist philosophy, iconography and spiritual practice. 

The OTHER GALLERY is proud to present the latest works by US based Chinese artist Xie Caomin. To gain a profound overview of his oeuvre the exhibition contains two series displayed together at OTHER GALLERY | Beijing space with a curatorial text by Simon Kirby.
