Exhibition of contemporary Chinese woodblock prints by two artists, Ding Jitang (Xi'an, Huxian County) and Yu Chengyou (Harbin, Heilongjiang Province). Both artists depict rural scenes of their own familiar habitat in charmingly simple styles. Ding portrays, with only touches of colour and bold outlines, the daily lives of the villagers in 'idyllic' rustic scenes. Yu uses more colour to evoke the vast scenery of the 'northern wilderness', with few signs of human habitation, but some wild life, particularly deer. This exhibition continues at Arthur Probsthain Bookshop, 41 Great Russell Street, London WC1, until Sat.3 March.
