    Michael Cherney / Qiu Mai 秋麦is a Beijing-based American artist who has lived and worked in China for 30 years. Uniquely among Western artists he works entirely and convincingly in the Chinese milieu . Photographer, calligrapher, and book artist, Cherney fuses together the great sophistication and subtleties of China’s most scholarly and esoteric traditions with Western sensibilities and modern techniques. His were the first ever photographic works to enter the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Asian Art . His art is less provocative than it is intellectually engaging, meditative, and often simply beautiful. It is the cutting-edge demonstration of artistic globalization: if Asian artists can so readily “come West,” then what is to prevent large numbers of future Western artists from “going Asian”? Or, like Qiu Mai/Michael Cherney, going both ways at once, both American and Chinese, modern and traditional.
