Beyond Boundries: The Yixing Influence
on Contemporary American Ceramics
LUO XIAOPING: Time Square Series
Luo Xiaoping is an internationally renowned Chinese artist living in Yixing,
Jiangsu Province as well as spending time in Arizona working in ceramics.
Time Square Series will showcase twenty-four figures of world political
leaders. Given the current turmoil in the world political arena, this
timely show will help audiences put a face to the forces that influence
our global communities.
“ In this series I have sculpted some of the most powerful people
in the world today, using only clay and paint. This is a political image
spectrum installed on the Square of Time. Some of these figures may never,
in reality, stand together, but today I have brought them together on
one single stage. Here, I can scoff at them, myself and the world.”
