Biografia
Caomin Xie is an Atlanta & Shanghai-based artist, originally from China. He has been teaching and working in the U.S. as a painter and new media artist since 1999. From 1989 to 2000 he studied sculpture and painting in both China at the Academy of Art and in Georgia at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Xie Caomin holds a BFA in sculpture and MFA in painting. His current body of work titled “Mandala of Ruins,” uses oil paint and images of architectural and mechanical debris. The series, according to the artist statement, "embodies the Buddhist concept of samsara/metempsychosis, which is the circle of creation, establishment, destruction and emptiness and its relation to 9/11 "as we confront the stupendous creative and destructive powers of today’s technology."
