Chen鈥檚 pioneering watercolors on display
Print Edition
A solo exhibition featuring a number of watercolors created by Chen Peirong is underway at the Liu Haisu Art Museum through September 2.
The museum annually unveils an exhibition by an artist from its own collection, and now is Chen鈥檚 turn.
鈥淭his is an important survey on the artist鈥檚 style and achievements,鈥 said director Bao Weihua. 鈥淐hen Peirong is a critical figure in the area of Chinese watercolors.鈥
Born in 1941 in Shanghai, Chen is a pioneer of new imagery style in watercolors.
Absorbing the technique and style from some Western watercolor artists, Chen鈥檚 concepts behind the tableau are quite Oriental with a strong traditional Chinese expression.
Patrons might find his treatment of light and shadow reminiscent of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) and John Constable (1776-1837).
In the community of Chinese watercolor artists, Chen is widely known for the distinctive ambiance of 鈥渆mptiness, illusion, profundity and rhythm鈥 over his paintings.
Apart from his watercolors, the exhibition also includes some of his canvases that interpret new imagery style.
Date: Through September 2 (closed on Mondays), 10am-5pm
Venue: Liu Haisu Art Museum
Address: 1609 Yan鈥檃n Rd W.
