Biography
Hsiao Chin is a Chinese painter known for his lyrical abstractions, which employ both the vocabulary of traditional Chinese brush painting and the conceptual framework of European and American Modernism. Born on January 30, 1935 in Shanghai, China, the artist began studying painting at the age of 15 and was exposed to the work of Western artists like Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse. From 1956 onward, Hsiao has lived and travelled throughout Europe and the United States, where he met many prominent artists, including Paul Klee, Mark Rothko, Yves Klein, and Lucio Fontana. He has been the subject of retrospectives at the Museum of Fine Arts in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Liege. Today, his works can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Shanghai Art Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.
