In the V&A Museum, while his wonderland was displayed inside, outside was the city of London. And in Chatsworth Garden, the Chinese painting-like wonderland was placed inside an ancient European house.

Now, his work is on show at the Water Park in Beijing.

Here, Xu has reinvented his installation.

In Beijing, the pond in the circular installation is replaced with fields of vegetables, rice and corn.

Explaining the modification of his installation, Xu says he did this "because for thousands of years, China was an agrarian society. We are all farmers".

Commenting on the work, Dong Yi, president of the Beautiful Asset Company, the organizer of the show, says: "That's my wonderland, a Chinese-style wonderland.

"With the fog, the sounds of birds and insects, I feel like I am part of a Chinese landscape painting scroll," she says.

Dong says she is a fan of Xu, whom she calls a master with a good understanding of the East and West, who knows how to express this through contemporary art.

Xu, who was born in Chongqing, moved to New York in 1990, but has been in Beijing since 2007.

The artist, who gained fame in the global in the 1990s art world with his printmaking and large installations of hand-carved characters, has had his works displayed at museums across the world, including MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum and the National Gallery of Canada.
