Tong Xindi is a ceramic artist, who received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, majoring in pottery, printmaking, photography and art + technology. He was an artist-in-residence at the Guldagergaard Ceramics Center in Denmark. In 2019, he founded Xin Wei Ceramic Studio back in his hometown, Hangzhou.
Tong Xindi's creations are visual, abstract, and full of colorful expressionism - glaze over lines, polka dots, and geometric shapes. Inspired by the sancai (three-color glazes) painting style from Tang Dynasty, Xindi developed a unique way to translate the traditional art form into stunning contemporary pieces. He programmed a 3D glaze printer to generate sancai patterns that could be printed onto ceramic tiles. The tiles are eventually pieced together into a painting. Under his 3D printing ceramic CNC machine, the flow and rhythm of the glaze itself becomes a dynamic painting language. His works refines classical elements of Chinese tradition, appeals to surreal ideas, and finds a way of presenting his classical yet avant-garde point of view.
