Chinese painting

Untitle

His material comes from the flowers and birds in his hometown. The composition of painting is a concrete embodiment of years of experience. For example, the basket series of paintings. All of which are mainly composed of baskets, are composed in the middle. However, the most annoying part of the composition of Chinese painting is that the main body is placed in the middle. which is precisely because the basket series is placed in the middle, which makes it very comfortable to look at. It breaks the limitation of the traditional painting composition from Song dynasty to modern times, which also forms its personal characteristics.

Roaming Free in Magnificente Infinity Sculptures of Wu Ching

Opening hours: 9:00-17:00(closed on Mondays)
Location: 5th exhibition hall, Shandong Museum
Address: 11899 Jingshi Road, Jinan, China

Wu Ching was born into a simple farming family of Chiayi, Taiwan in 1956. The only word to describe his youth is “wild.” Farming village life was pretty simple, giving him a most unfettered childhood and a far more genuine experience of life than most. He first encountered carving at age 17 and developed his rudimentary technique from carving wood furniture.

Wu Ching is a sculptor that embeds his observation and reflection of the nature in his sculpture. Starting from the incision in wood, the artist has created his unique sculpture series in gold, which is extremely different from the traditional Chinese sculpture works made by wood, stone, jade, bamboo, bones and ivory.

The exhibition presents 30 pieces of selected sculpture works in gold and wood divided in four themes, namely wood sculptures, gold sculptures, bionomics and abstractism, in which the superb techniques of the artist and the breathtaking beauty of the works will bring not only a feast to the eye but also a deep interpretation of the aesthetic and philosophic senses.
