Although the streets of Shanghai under the epidemic are quieter than before, many people still retain glorious memories of the city. Whether it's a historic building on the Bund or a long bustling street on your doorstep, there's always something unforgettable to find about Shanghai.
Recently, Shanghai Jiushi Art Museum launched the "Art appreciation at home", and a series of works from the collection were launched online. These works are selected from the 2020 "2020 Scenery Exhibition on both sides of the Pujiang River" sponsored by Kushi Group and Kushi Art Museum. At that time, 84 groups of distinctive paintings were created based on the beautiful scenery of the 45-kilometer shoreline of the riverside.
"Pujiang Riverside" Huang Azhong Oil painting on canvas Works from the collection of Jiushi Art Museum
In the painting of the painter Huang Azhong's "Pujiang Riverside", on the banks of the Pujiang River, there are many high-rise buildings, the river is endless, and the sunset is plated with golden light. The street lights in the distance are lit, and the stars and dots of lights reflect on the Pujiang River, and the river water carries these reflections and splendor, rushing to the distance.
In the painting of painter Fang Shicong's "Dawning Shanghai 2020", under the illumination of the dawn, the entire Huangpu River is shrouded in a layer of golden brilliance; the Oriental Pearl tower standing on the riverside and the Bund architectural complex are facing each other, quietly waiting for a new beginning.
"Wu Songkou's Imagination" Li Qian Oil painting on canvas Works from the collection of The Jiushi Art Museum
In the painter Li Qian's "Imagination of Wu Songkou", the artist uses hazy brushstrokes to bring the viewer to the reed swinging edge of Wu Songkou. The breeze blows, stirring up the waves of reeds, the white pigeons circling in the air bring new hope, and the unreal port in the distance carries the artist's beautiful imagination of the future development of Wusongkou.
"North Bund, Star Pier" Xu Qiaojian Oil painting on canvas Kushi Art Museum collection works
"North Bund Star Pier" was painted by the painter Xu Qiaojian. As a long painting, the artist records his vision of the North Bund Star Pier with a panoramic perspective: the yacht docked in the dock is quietly looking forward to the next departure; around the yacht, the modern buildings are reflected in the water, giving birth to some illusory unreality, as if in a trance in the future, so that the viewer can not help but marvel at the modern development of Shanghai.
"Morning City Sonata" Gao Yaoming Watercolor on Paper Kushi Art Museum Collection Works
The painter Gao Yaoming's Morning Market Sonata is a watercolor painting on paper. Using the unique fluidity of watercolor, the artist vividly depicts the hazy feeling of water vapor, and displays the modern buildings on the banks of the Pujiang River looming in the early morning mist. The steam emanating from the cruise ship in the painting is so real that people can hear the whistle in the distance, and the low roar is like a sonata being played, marking the beginning of a new day.
