Group exhibition : Landscape Painting
Hunsand Center for Contemporary Art (Shijiazhuang) is proud to present a group exhibition of twenty artists on 'Landscape Painting'. Landscape painting is a widely accepted theme in Europe, mainly from religious painting, depicting natural scenery, such as mountains and rivers. While in ancient China, landscape painting was mainly represented as Chinese traditional landscape painting, with a large number of literati depicting imaginary scenes, with particular emphasis on the formal language of brush and ink. In today's context, there is no longer a clear classification of 'landscape painting', and the understanding of art has long revolved around 'people', more often categorizing the medium.
Therefore, this group exhibition is not purely categorized by the theme; "landscape painting" is more of a hint or a metaphor to guide ordinary viewers who lack visual viewing experience or relevant knowledge to find some kind of access when faced with such a rich visual language of the artists. At the same time, the exhibition also hopes that the audience can bring their own knowledge of "landscape painting" into the exhibition hall, and after viewing the colourful visual presentation, they may come to a new understanding that "landscape can be painted in this way".
In addition, the majority of the artists in this exhibition are young artists, whose painting language and logic vary greatly, and whose mediums are also different. We have given the viewers five simple hints on the types of feelings conveyed by the works, and their senses of the images are roughly as follows：
1-Humour | Anger - Fan Huaxiao, Ke Lanyan, Li Qiangqiang, Zhou Tianbai, Zhu Yiming
2-Feeling | Calm -- Hua Xiyu, Lei Yu, Qin Anxin, Tian Changze, Zhang Zhen
3-Narrative | Mystery -- Li Han, Wang Ximin, Yang Jinyu
4-Poetry | Viscous -- Huang Qiyou, Ji Jun, Zhu Xun
5-Description | Transcendence -- Liu Peng, Lu Jialin, Tian Zhaoting, Zhou Xiaocong
As the saying goes, there are thousands of people, and the above categorization of sensory types only provides the viewers with a signpost of possibilities based on comprehension and perception, but it is up to the viewers to decide where the unnamed paths through the landscape lead to, and to discover for themselves. In short, in the face of the 'landscape' before us, as Liu Cixin says in Poetic Clouds."The nature in Li Bai's eyes is the maiden by the river you see now, and the same nature in the eyes of technology is the well-ordered but bloody parts on the white cloth ......"
