Using building blocks of stars and crosses, Ding tessellates these symbols together across one or several canvases to create large, engrossing compositions that read as intricate patterns or constellations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCross Galaxy\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a new, avant-garde voice in contemporary Chinese painting. The book was developed from a long-term research project initiated by the artist's solo exhibition at the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and presents a comprehensive study of Ding's 40-year practice. Art historians, curators and collaborators contribute interviews, reviews, commentary and anecdotes on the artist's life and work, alongside images of Ding's studio, early exhibitions from the 1980s and details of his scintillating paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 12 x 9.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 07, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67960960450781,"sku":"9791254632635","price":90.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/UZej00v-Rv9791254632635.webp?v=1790833909","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/ding-yi-cross-galaxy-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
