The library meets the Prado— the king, the painter, and their paintings
When: April 4 – May 15
Venue: Guangzhou Library
29 high-definition reproductions of the Prado Museum's selection will be presented in the large exhibition hall on the first floor of the broad map, recreating the brilliance of Western painting from the Renaissance to the end of the 19th century. The works on display span the 15th and 19th centuries and include the prado museum's most prestigious collection, Gong'e, one of the world's three famous paintings, and works from Dürer, Titian, Rembrandt and other important European renaissance painters. The exhibition breaks the traditional chronological order and allows the paintings to meet everyone in a new spatial logic and narrative way. The viewer can assume the identity of the king or painter, feel their "taste and personality" from the paintings, compare the "majestic and secular" class images, and glimpse the panorama of "history and art". Through the efforts of the librarian team, with the "assistance" of curatorial consultant Zhai Yue, this idea was realized. In the face of 29 paintings, you can "open" the exhibition and "read" the Prado on the basis of "viewing".

"Shadow on the Sofa" Zhang Ping, 300cm× 120cm Acrylic on canvas, 2020
Prescription - Zhang Ping, Huang Dayou, Grandma Ah Zi Trio Exhibition and Hong XIV
Exhibition period: April 26 - May 22
Venue: Halls 5, 6, 8 and 9 of the Guangdong Museum of Art
"Medicine" is a formula that can cure diseases and save people, and it also has a derivative meaning: a way to solve problems. We need not only a cure for the flesh, but also a cure for the soul, and art is often seen as such a prescription. Therefore, the "prescription" here is also a way to obtain happiness and redeem yourself through personal hobbies. In a modern society with fast pace of life, high competitive pressure and high incidence of mental illness, this "Prescription - Zhang Ping, Huang Dayou, Grandma A Seed Trio Exhibition and Hongxi" hopes to explore the joy of artistic creation and its "medicinal effect" of healing the soul through three cases in one door.
The works of Zhang Ping, Huang Dayou and Grandma Ah Zi represent three directions of artistic creation: academic, playful, and even vegan. In the different creative states of the three people, we can still see the commonality of art: through the sincere, spiritual and emotional expression of life experience, the fullness, freedom and sublimation of life are realized, so that people enjoy it. Perhaps, this is the most core, most valuable and most fascinating thing about art since ancient times, related to life, related to sexual spirit, about happiness, a "prescription" for comfort and happiness.
