Zhao Tianqi looks a bit like her print images - smart, non-conformist, young, whimsical and a bit sassy. And she has the same enchanting charm that her print works have.

Not so long ago, she was an insiders's tip among foreign diplomats in Beijing. Now Zhao Tianqi is on the best way to become a well-known artist in and outside of China. Her prints are in the possession of the Dutch, Swiss and the German embassies in the capital Beijing.

The latest series "Made in China", created in 2004, is a milestone in the career of this refreshing, young artist.

Zhao Tianqi

Made in China no.12
copyright Zhao Tianqi

The artist works in silkscreen technique and in a rather rare form of printmaking, so-called single prints. With this technique, the complete design is applied on a stone or glass plate using either watery or oil colors. Then a paper is laid over the design and pressed firmly against the plate. And that is it. Thus only one copy of a design can be created.

Editions

The series "Made in China" was edited in copies of 20. Each print is signed, numbered and dated in pencil by the artist.
