Exhibition: "Youfang" Yangtze River Delta Art University Teacher Invitational Exhibition

Dong Qichang wrote in "Painting Decision": "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles, and the dust in your heart will naturally be removed, and the mountains and rivers will naturally be built." Reading a lot of books, understanding the classics, and getting rid of the worldly atmosphere and habits, one can cultivate a scholarly temperament. Then, leave the study, leave the studio, enter the contemporary world, travel around, and immerse yourself in the vast and beautiful nature. This is the best growth path and extension method for art in colleges and universities. I watched the "Youfang" Yangtze River Delta Art University Teacher Invitational Exhibition at the Shanghai Hong Art Museum. The exhibition showcases the works of a group of young oil painting artists from higher art colleges in the Yangtze River Delta who have stepped out of the campus and went to Xinjiang for fieldwork and creation (the event was planned and organized by Youfang Art Travel). The exhibited oil paintings are not limited to Xinjiang sketches, but are rich in content, diverse in form, and varied in style. It can be said that the colorful individual characteristics displayed by each painter are based on the transcendence of painting language forms and the expansion of traditional aesthetics, as well as the different experiences of the world by individual artists, and are different perceptions and thoughts on life and existence.
