“Ah Xian is a self taught artist who held his first exhibition in Shanghai in 1985. He migrated to Australia in 1989. In 1999 he received an Australia Council grant to travel to Jingdezhen to explore porcelain production, enabling him to expand his “China, China” series of porcelain portrait busts. He was awarded the national Sculpture prize in an exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia in 2001.”
