alongside Lucio Fontana, Hsiao Chin founded the avant-garde art groups Ton Fan Art Group and International Punto Art Movement. The energy of the universe and the deep philosophical concepts of the East have become the source of inspiration for his creations. Over the past decades, he endeavoured to meld the spirit, philosophy and self-concept of the East into the language of his abstract paintings. In his creations, he demonstrated the tension and balance of "duality" such as emptiness and reality, yin and yang, as well as the ultimate idea of the unity of the heavens and mankind. Hsiao Chin made great contributions to the development of modern abstract art in China. His works have been collected by more than 50 public and private art organisations around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the National Art Museum of China, Beijing, and the M+ Art Museum, Hong Kong.
