In Conversation with Chen Limin

Chen Limin, one of the youngest artists in the current exhibition of Chinese contemporary woodblock prints, will talk about her work as a painter and printmaker.

Chen Limin—one of the youngest artists in the current exhibition of Chinese contemporary woodblock prints and one of two women printmakers represented—will talk about her work as a painter and printmaker, as well as the challenges and opportunities for women pursuing careers as artists in China today. This informal program will also offer the opportunity for facilitated conversation between the artist and the audience. Participants are invited to attend a reception with Chen Limin immediately following this program.

Born in Hangzhou, China, Chen Limin was educated in China and France, where she now resides. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions in China and Europe. Multiple Impressions: Chinese Contemporary Woodblock Prints is the first showing of this work and her first US exhibition.
