Biography
He quickly became renowned for his engravings and oil paintings. His most famous works include "Serenade" (zh-Hani), "Candlelight" (zh-Hans, 2001), "Girl with a bird" (zh-Hans), "Water", "Pounding cloth map" and "Warehouse". Axing rarely portrays real people, mostly taking his inspiration for the subjects and associated colours, lines and shapes from Chinese folk art, especially traditional Wuxi clay figurines. His creations are exhibited in many Chinese art museums such as the China Art Museum and the Liu Haisu Art Museum, as well as in private collections in Europe and the United States. He has participated in many national and international art exhibitions.
