He Kun, regarded as a leading exponent of reduction woodcut art in China, said he would not have had the artistic achievements he has had if not for the policy.

“I study and use forms of Western art,” he said. “By using the Chinese techniques I’m familiar with, I approach my work from another cultural perspective.”

He said the opening-up policy had a “great influence” on his art and has allowed the world to understand Chinese art.

Gladston noted that, although the reform and opening-up policy wasn’t aimed specifically at culture, it did open up circumstances that are “conducive to the development to the kind of contemporary art we now see in China”.
