Beijing Academy of Fine Arts will be holding “Let me add a Brush of Green: Fu Shan’s Selective Works of Calligraphies and Paintings” from November 2nd to December 11th, 2016. The exhibition is an initiative jointly sponsored by Shanxi Museum and Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. After the series of exhibition on Ancient Chinese paintings in 2015, the current exhibition is again in collaboration with culture and heritage institute. It brings together nearly sixty sets of artworks from the collection of Shanxi Museum, the Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, Tianjin Museum and Guangzhou Art Museum. The academic research and the collections of the master’s artworks altogether make the exhibition to be an extraordinary opportunity for the visitors to understand the unique appeal of Chinese traditional culture. It is also a new experimental pathway to present academic research in exhibition for the visitors to understand and appreciate artworks.
This exhibition is divided into four sections: “The Delight of Studying is its Deepness,” “Working on Calligraphy and Painting with Laziness in Mind,” “The Zen painting of Hills and Valley,” and “Never Mark Down the Price of Art.” Aiming to comprehensively present Fu Shan’s accomplishments in poetry, literature, calligraphy and painting, the exhibition not only shows the most representative running style of calligraphy works by Fushan to show his social engagements, it also directs attention to the standard style of calligraphy works to demonstrate his rigorous and precise study, as well as the fascinating ink and color paintings.
Conducting academic research on artworks is one of the distinguished specialties of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. We have always been seeking to conduct academic research with research questions and exhibit artworks based on academic research. We strive for leading and inspiring the contemporary art world. Every exhibition and research done by Beijing Academy of Fine Arts is a project devoted to study contemporary art issues, point to the difficulties of the development of contemporary Chinese paintings, and inspire the viewers by tracing back to the history of Chinese paintings. The current exhibition focuses on the issue of connectivity and relativity between Chinese painting and Chinese calligraphy. The exhibition seek to offer the visitors an opportunity to look at Chinese traditional paintings, specifically paintings of Fu Shan, and to further appreciate the spiritual world of traditional Chinese literati scholars.
