| With the rise of digital technology and the prevalence of internet thinking,the medium of art is showing a trend towards diversification and virtualisation,and printmaking is no longer confined to a single medium or a single form,but can be expanded and innovated from a variety of perspectives.The medium of printmaking does not only include the material medium that appears in the printmaking process,but also serves as a medium of artistic language.The ’contemporary’ context of printmaking is not defined in terms of time,but rather as a conceptual measure of art;old language is certainly not contemporary,but neither is a purely technical approach.Through an overview of the status of the medium in printmaking,this paper discusses the extension of the medium with the iteration of artistic concepts and the diversity of communication media,using personal creative practice as a vehicle.The issue of the new characteristics of the medium of printmaking in the contemporary Chinese context is discussed.The cross-border use of the medium of printmaking in the contemporary Chinese context is elaborated.The practice of cross-border use of the printmaking medium is documented in the context of personal creation,and the use of the medium in the contemporary Chinese context is explored in the context of personal works. |
