The works of artist Liang Ying (b1961, China) are invited to be exhibited in "BEING" at ZHI ART MUSEUM. The exhibition, which opens to the public on October 5, 2022, consists of more than 50 pieces of beautiful contemporary art works, showing the spirit of the living Oriental aesthetics from a century-old perspective. The exhibition is based on the theme of the changing of the four seasons and the connection of all things, and corresponds to the traditional Chinese color system, transforming the ZHI ART MUSEUM into a sacred space where art, nature and spirituality meet. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) As curator and director of Zhi Art Museum Wang Conghui depicts: "we invite you to enter a space where art and nature intertwine. To enter the world of art is to enter the image of fantasy. Together we experience the flow of time, the beauty of four seasons, of constant changes, the charm of being in a split second, of everyday lives. Return to nature, return to childlike innocence, we listen to the whisper and murmur of insects and birds, watch clouds roll in and out; with a natural mind, we live in the present and meet ourselves. This exhibition is expected to lead art lovers to appreciate the beauty, pleasure, transience of life, and the interconnectedness of universality. Naturally, art unlocks our inner wisdom and rewards us with a true self." THE ARTIST Liang Ying(b.1961, China) was born in Beijing, China in 1961, studied in the Department of Chinese Painting, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1981 to 1982, and studied at the Art Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg in Germany from 1983 to 1993, and received an art scholarship from the Rotary Club of Hamburg and the North German State. In 1991 received a Master of Fine Arts. As a pioneering female artist in Chinese contemporary art, Liang Ying was one of the earliest group of artists who studied in Germany in the 1980s. She is also one of the first established Chinese artists who forgo oil painting in order to focus on ink painting. Whether it is her early series “Diary Liang Ying,” which depicted modern women in urban settings, or her recent series “Immortals and Legends,” Liang Ying has always innovatively combined the compositional elements and contents of German Neo-Expressionism with the brushwork and subject matters of traditional Chinese Painting, transforming them into myriad phenomenal artworks.In these works, she merges concepts, narrative, and painterly expression in one entity. Like many Chinese artists in the 20th century, Liang Ying devotes herself to exploring the possibility of ink painting, hoping to prove to the world that ink painting is still a vital component of today’s contemporary art world.
