Shao Dapian and Shui Tianzhong are famous theorists in the field of contemporary Chinese art theory. For decades, they have been active in the forefront of art theory research and art criticism. Their writings, which possess historical insight and profound thought, have had an important impact on contemporary Chinese art. However, as scholars, apart from engaging in art theory research and art criticism, they also ventured into practice, using painting to cultivate their minds and broaden their horizons, creating many outstanding works of art that transcend the mundane. This exhibition gathered 67 carefully created paintings by Shao Dapian and Shui Tianzhong over the past few years, including 38 ink paintings by Shao Dapian and 29 oil paintings by Shui Tianzhong. The works reflect the basic appearance of the two gentlemen's painting creation practices during their leisure time. In recent years, it has been a unique and refreshing exhibition in the Chinese art world, serving as a strong rebuttal to the current trend in the Chinese art circle of greed for fame and profit while neglecting sentiment, valuing technology while ignoring scholarship. This exhibition has important academic value and far-reaching historical significance for the construction of contemporary Chinese elite culture.
Honorary Chairman of the China Artists Association Jin Shangyi sincerely praised: The contemporary art world especially needs painters with deep learning and sharp vision. The exhibition of these two artists stands out uniquely, allowing us to see another style that goes beyond technique and focuses on spiritual expression, making it a very academically valuable exhibition. Chairman of the China Artists Association Liu Dawei represented the China Artists Association in offering warm and sincere congratulations to the exhibition, believing that the achievements of these two artists in art theory have made outstanding contributions to the brilliance of New China's art and the construction and development of Chinese art theory.
