Liu Guosong's masterpiece "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 "SeeIng Joy" is festive and lively, transcending the usual graphic style in freehand flowers and birds; Yang Zhengxin's "SnowY Ark" is the first picture at the entrance of Liu Haisu Art Museum's "Contemporary Haipai Famous Artists Double Exhibition Series" last year.

Artist ChengDi's works were unveiled at art fairs such as ART021 last year and were well received and welcomed. His works are calm and generous, the contrast between the color blocks is full of tension, the flat painting technique is harmonious and innocent, and all the branches and branches are deleted, so that the characters in his pen can empathize with the audience.
The new generation of artists has their own styles, and some young teachers have broadened the materials and forms of expression, and the subject matter is eclectic. Wu Jifeng, an artist who returned from studying in France, turned his attention to the lonely old people in the aging society abroad, and fixed an immersive "after the party" movie scene in black, white and gray, the low-saturation color ring set off a sense of solitude and gloom, and the old orphans sat down after the party, basking in the sun for a long time, recalling the noise of the people coming and going. The hue of the gray canopy common in Paris envelops the panorama, and the whole scene is a gray system that is not cloudy.

The young sculptor Wang Lin mainly uses the child's cartoon standing posture, which is completely bright and innocent, and she creates based on her own child, expressing the theme of softness and clarity of life. The works portray the cuteness of children holding up their round stomachs and covering their faces, and "Early Summer" and "Midsummer" carry innocence and kindness.
The young sculptor Tang Yin created a series of sculptures of people and creatures "in the same body": man and horse, elephant, cat, desert fox, penguin, bird, snake, seal, octopus, shell, egg, tree, etc. The theme of the sculpture revolves around the relationship between life and nature, man and nature.
Graphite, head of the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, said that higher art institutions actively exert the advantages and strength of the industry-university-research platform, contribute to the integration of industry and education and cultural tourism, and place the achievements of art teaching and research in the traffic space of the city center to meet more audiences. The exhibition is hosted by the Shanghai Jing'an District Greening and City Appearance Administration, and runs until February 28 and is free to the public.
