Exhibition of Liu Hongzhou’s Paintings

Introduction
Exhibition of Liu Hongzhou’s Paintings
The art exhibition of Liu Hongzhou’s works made its debut in Changsha, before which they had been displayed in the National Art Museum of China in 1993, Shi Jiazhuang Art Museum in 2016 and several foreign countries such as Japan and Thailand. With the gathering of nearly a hundred pieces created by Liu over the past few decades, this exhibition features five parts: printmaking, figure, landscape, bird and flower as well as hand scroll. Wondering in the exhibition, you may be blessed with profound inner peace and artistic beauty.
Born in Fenghuang County (western part of Hunan Province), Liu has distinguished himself as an artist through continuous exploration into realms that have never been set foot on before. By blending together the seemingly incompatible fine and freehand brushwork, the essence of murals in Han and Tang Dynasty as well as that of Western works, he created volumes of flower and bird—themed paintings, ushering a new world where the traditional art encounters with the passionate modern colors. His early life experience and painstaking study of different skills, together with his unique tentacle for art, helped to shape the vast landscape as well as the exquisite figures in his works,as was once remarked by Huang Yongyu,a renowned artist in China:“One can tell that his works share a lot with his personality: modesty, serenity,abundance and precision. Plainly and fully revealing the traditional techniques and his modern awareness, theseworks are readily accessible and quite respectable. ”
