Yesterday, the cross-border art exhibition "The Source of All Things", jointly presented by the new generation of piano artist Zhang Haotian and artist Li Shurui, held the opening ceremony at the Shanghai Long Art Museum. The exhibition is hosted by the Long Museum and co-sponsored by vogue me, from June 29 to July 14, the audience can not only feel the representative works of Li Shurui such as "Wave" and "Yuanshen Reservoir", but also listen to the second original work "The Source of All Things" created by zhang Haotian, a new generation of piano artists, for his cross-border journey to the art museum.

The Source of All Things is a work of art that discusses the soul, inheritance and existence. During the creation of the work, Zhang Haotian visited the Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty by chance, during which he was struck by the artistry of Tang Dynasty tomb paintings and excavated cultural relics, and thus gained an in-depth understanding of the artistic and cultural works of the Tang Dynasty and their influence on future generations. Through this archaeological journey, Zhang Haotian developed a new perspective on the understanding of the soul. In his view, the people of that era left behind these things that could have a profound impact on future generations, and when we saw, touched and felt them, we were talking to the people at that time for thousands of years. And this influence that can transcend time is not the power of "the soul that does not perish with the death of the body"?

If Li Shurui expresses in his work "Yuanshen Reservoir" and his infinite imagination of future technology in "immortality", then the melody full of oriental style and classical temperament in Zhang Haotian's works is a tribute to the inheritance and continuation of this abstract level of culture. Although technology and abstraction have never been concepts of two dimensions that are not equal, when they meet because of art, when the artist interprets the mysteries of the universe with the melody of his fingertips and the vibration of the strings, this work that explores the mystery of the end of life and interprets the "eternal" from two perspectives comes into being.
