Contemporary Chinese Serigraphy from a Semiotic Perspective

Author(s) Ms. Sifei Xu, Dr. Supath Kookiattikoon
Country Thailand
Abstract This article proposes a three-level semiotic framework for analyzing how contemporary Chinese serigraphy generates and transforms meaning across the image, linguistic, and cultural levels. Drawing on Saussurean and Peircean semiotics and visual semiotic theory, it treats serigraphic works as multilayered sign systems and examines how material surface, visual grammar, and cultural coding interact in representative works by Guang Jun, Zhang Guilin, Zhou Jirong, Zhang Lian, Song Guangzhi, and Luo Biwu. Through close visual analysis, the study traces serigraphy’s shift from technical imitation and propaganda to personalized, conceptually driven practices embedded in China’s post-reform sociocultural transformations, showing how techniques such as layering, overprinting, misregistration, and mixed-media integration recode urbanization, memory, identity, and cultural rupture. It argues that contemporary Chinese serigraphy has evolved from a unidirectional, indexical print medium into an open, multilayered semiotic network, advancing the “iconic signs–cultural coding” model to explain its role in producing and reconfiguring cultural meaning under conditions of media hybridity and globalization.
Keywords Keywords: contemporary Chinese serigraphy; semiotics; visual language; artistic signs; linguistic level; cultural level; urban memory; cultural identity
