“The echoes of the ancient and the melody of the contemporary.”
Artist and dean at the China Academy of Art, Kaibo Xiong’s stoneware ceramics resonate with the elemental simplicity of painted pottery and the dignified presence of bronze. His refined pieces meld ancient China into the contours of modern forms, expressive of cultural and spiritual depth. Each piece, a reflection of his knowledge and skills, is crafted to enrich, rather than merely meet, the lives of those it touches.
Xiong’s approach to ceramics unfolds in three-dimensional narratives that sculpt space and evoke emotional resonance. With over two decades dedicated to the art of ceramics, his style is unmistakably distinctive—every detail, from form and texture to the choice of clay and glazing, bears his unique signature. Committed to both preserving and transcending his heritage, Xiong ensures that cultural legacy not only endures but evolves within the contemporary art scene.
