The exhibition is guided by the Propaganda Department of the TIANHE District COMMITTEE of the Communist Party of China, the Tianhe District Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, supported by the Guangdong Museum of Art, hosted by the Management Committee of Tianhe Science and Technology Park of Guangzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone, the Curatorial Committee of the Guangdong Artists Association, and the Houshan Contemporary Art Center, co-organized with the Heng Art Museum, and the famous art critic Pi Daojian, professor of the Fine Arts Department of South China Normal University, is the curator.
With the Spring Festival approaching, the Houshan Contemporary Art Center starts from the spiritual context of Guo Xi's "Early Spring Map" and presents the recent creations of many contemporary artists with the theme of "Spring".
This exhibition invites lin haizhong, Wang Shaoqiang, Wu Qiang, You Dongquinone and Zhou Wei to participate in the exhibition, which is a Spring Festival gift from Houshan Contemporary Art Center to the audience, presenting the artists' "Lin Quan Gao Zhi" and the spring atmosphere of Chinese contemporary art to the audience.
Lin Haizhong and Wu Qiang "take the ancient as apprentices", borrow the ancient to open up the present, with traditional pen and ink and hazy and implicit artistic conception, prompting the elitist spirit of the times and resisting the smog of real life. Wang Shaoqiang creates a profound and mysterious space through innovative pen and ink and mountain stone images.
Starting from the material nature of You Dong Quinone, his works are the understanding and practice of the oriental philosophy of "not taking from the phase, as if not moving". Zhou Wei uses the waste of contemporary life to create gardens and landscapes, expressing his thinking on the relationship between nature, the city and people.
Pi Daojian believes that the newly established Houshan Contemporary Art Center is in its youth; from the perspective of art history, Chinese contemporary art that originated in the '85 art trend should also be in its adolescence, and its youth is characterized by getting rid of the toddlers of the growth period and beginning to base itself on the soil of national culture and continue the traditional context for independent localization of contemporary art creation.
The practice of many artists shows that at a time when the tide of anti-globalization is surging and a new round of globalization is poised, Chinese contemporary art is in a new stage of localization and creation based on the soil of national culture and continuing the traditional context.
It is reported that the Houshan Contemporary Art Center is a famous art studio jointly built by the government and society, which is a characteristic innovation space for the study of aesthetics and art, and a cultural and artistic center that is not for profit, serves the society and is open to the public.
This exhibition is not only the beginning of a series of curatorial activities of the "Contemporary Art Research Exhibition" of houshan Contemporary Art Center, but also a cultural project that benefits public cultural services.
