Japan, China communicate over art
Print Edition
THE art museum of Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute will hold from tomorrow a two-fold solo exhibition by Hoshina Toyomi and Zhao Peisheng.
The exhibition showcases the paintings and installation created by Hoshina Toyomi, the vice president at Tokyo University of the Arts and a famous representative of “post material art” in Japan, as well as the sculptures and installation created by Chinese artist Zhao Peisheng.
“This is not only an art dialogue between a Japanese artist and a Chinese artist, but also a communication between China and Japan that was nurtured under the same oriental culture,” said Li Wei, the curator of the exhibition.
“For example, the artworks by Hoshina highlight the dilemma of the future of the civilization. They prompt us to keep an alert attitude toward the scientific development and artificial intelligence,” Li said.
Both artists use ordinary materials that are easily available in their works.
For local artist Zhao, ceramics is his favorite, but he doesn’t stop at the stereo typed concepts of the contents and shapes in ceramics.
For him, ceramic is only a tool to fulfill his ponderings for Zen. There is a kind of unspeakable oriental ambience wafted in Zhao’s works, and the abstract forms made of ceramics seem to reach an eternity derived from decadence and solitude.
Date: November 5-28,
10am-5pm, close on Monday
Address: 111 Jinzhu Rd
