Natural spirit

Spirit of China, an ongoing exhibition at the art gallery of China Academy of Oil Painting, teams up dozens of artists who have committed to exploring the presentation of nature with their brushes. It is a show of the endeavors to continuously implant the language of oil painting deeply in the rich soil of Chinese history and cultural traditions, whether using figurative or abstract approaches. The exhibition is, according to its curator Yang Feiyun, a reinforcement of the role of nature as an infinite source of inspiration for artists, and how nature has shaped or been shaped by human activities.
