It’s in Our Nature to Collect Beautiful Things ——Bo Yun’s Speech at Dandeli Gallery

When I taught undergraduate and postgraduate students at TsinghuaUniversity, I found that the older and the more experienced a student became the more intellectual he or she would be.

A Community to Incubate Culture — Hus Hsiaoming and the Cool Family

As society advances, our living standards continue to rise.

China's Renaissance

China has never been a land suffering from spiritual nor cultural poverty. The Chinese people have created countless art treasures in the country’s 5,000-year history. The arts are a reflection of a country’s economic power and cultural achievement in each age.

Harmony between Tradition and Modernity, Chinese and Western—Ma Shuyao and Her Sculptures

While western art world is composed mainly of sculptures, paintings and architectural works, it is sculptures which are written in history as the oldest and firstly matured art form.

The sculptor’s position is thus relegated to that of a craftsman and largely ignored by art history.

大自然的守望者

The Guardian of Mother Nature

We were in for a number of pleasant surprises when we met Liu Daguang again after years apart. First, we were surprised at the pen-and-ink drawings he had finished in the past few years which appealed to us greatly. From his work, The Hint of Spring, we not only saw his fine and meticulous depiction of lines, light, shade, and spacing of scenery, but it also made us feel the quivering of the branches and leaves in the breeze as well as the warm breath of spring — we could not help but marvel at his superb techniques in drawing and his acute sense of perception.

The Landscapes of Life

Life is a journey; for an artist who loves life with sincerity after experiencing its ups and downs, the artworks will be a window into the artist’s heart that reveal the landscapes along this journey and will be the voice for communicating to the world. What is echoed in the heart may be warmth, tranquility, or even a touch of melancholy, yet the focus is entirely on what the artist can share through their art.
