The Artist
Geng Di: Chinese Knife Painting Artist
The Artist Behind Shufeng Studio’s Textured Sichuan Landscapes
Geng Di is a Chinese knife painting artist based in Mianyang, Sichuan. His landscape practice brings together the spatial rhythm of Chinese painting and the physical texture of layered oil pigment shaped with steel blades and palette knives.
Direct Artist Definition
A Chinese Knife Painting Artist in Sichuan
Shufeng Studio’s landscapes are developed around distance, moisture, water movement, rock structure, and the quiet transitions found in Sichuan mountain scenery. Rather than treating landscape as decoration alone, the work looks for a feeling of depth and stillness that can live with an interior over time.
This profile records the artist’s relationship to the Shufeng Studio practice. Biographical dates, affiliations, exhibitions, awards, and collection history are not published here unless they can be supported by a reliable archive record.

Artistic Journey
Work, Observation, and Studio Practice
The public record presented here focuses on the work itself: landscape observation, material decisions, and the studio process behind each painting. A detailed chronology will be expanded only when dated materials, publications, or archive sources can be confirmed.
Within the studio, the visual direction remains consistent: build a spacious landscape, let pigment retain its physical presence, and allow the viewer to move between close texture and distant atmosphere.
Artistic Language
Landscape as Structure, Surface, and Atmosphere
Mountain masses, falls of water, river corridors, and open mist create the composition. Layered pigment gives those forms weight, while scraped and pressed edges keep the surface alive.
The resulting image is intended to be read both from a distance, where the landscape holds together, and at close range, where blade marks and layers remain visible.
Knife Painting Technique
Oil Pigment Shaped with Steel
Chinese knife painting uses steel blades and palette knives to spread, lift, press, scrape, and layer oil pigment. In Shufeng’s landscape practice, these actions are used to build rock faces, cloud movement, water texture, trees, and areas of atmospheric distance.
