Mao Jianhua: The Spirit of the Valley

Chinese artist and entrepreneur, Mao Jianhua, will present a new series of 48 works on specially  commissioned handmade paper at Saatchi Gallery, London from 27 June - 7 July.

The exhibition showcases a series of landscape ink paintings created on Xuan paper, a material handmade from the Sandalwood tree which has traditionally been used for writing and painting. Varying in size with several large scale works, the paintings immerse the viewer in Mao Jianhua’s spiritual exploration of nature and his time spent in the Chinese mountains.
