CHINA, Anhui, Huangshan; Qing dynasty (1644–1911)
Xi Gang, known also as Tiesheng or Chunzhang among several other aliases, was a seal engraver, calligrapher, and painter born in Shexian county of Huangshan, but resided in Zhejiang. His seal engraving techniques were based on the ancient works of the Qin (221-207 BCE) and Han (206 BCE-220 CE) dynasties, and he was trained in the Zhejiang school style. Xi's seals were executed with clean, precise cuts, and he achieved what was described as creating roundness within a square block." The side colophons found on his works were also intricately incised. Alongside Ding Jing |
