Entering the Year of the Tiger, the footsteps of spring are approaching. Recently, Shanghai Jing'an Sculpture Park Art Center ushered in the "New Year - 2022 Spring Festival Exhibition of Famous Artists in the Year of the Tiger", which gathered 18 representative artists of the Shanghai School and outstanding teachers of the School of Fine Arts of Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts to exhibit nearly 40 works. The beauty and hope of the art presented in the exhibition hall echo with the grass and trees in the park outside the exhibition hall that are about to reveal new shoots, bringing pleasing "spring news" to the general public.
Liu Guosong, Chen Jialing, Yang Zhengxin, Wang Jieyin, Zhang Leiping, Ma Xiaojuan, He Xi, Graphite and other participating artists are all representative artists of the Shanghai School, forming their own recognizable artistic styles. The works they brought this time include contemporary ink painting, oil painting, sculpture and installation art, with distinct themes, innovative highlights and different styles, fully demonstrating the artists' artistic creations nourished by Haipai culture. This is also a concentrated display of the outstanding teachers' works of the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts in 2022.
Look at it - Liu Guosong's "Snow Net Mountains Traces are Nature", with the mysterious painting language and the spirit of the times expressed in the contemporary transformation of traditional Chinese art, presents people with a beautiful art world;
Chen Jialing's "See Joy" is festive and lively, transcending the usual graphic style of freehand flowers and birds, and presenting an intriguing sense between similarity and inconsistency;
Yang Dongbai's "Under the Sun" series of sculptures crisscrosses with stainless steel materials, allowing people to see the meaning of struggling to grow;
……
