“The Realm of Heaven and Earth -- Tang Chenghua's Art Exhibition” debuts at the Ningbo Museum of Art with over a hundred large-scale new works. The exhibition embodies the harmony between nature and humanity, showcasing a sublime transition from material media to spiritual expression.
The exhibition is more than a retrospective of Professor Tang Chenghua's artistic journey. It serves as an opportunity for deep public engagement. Through innovative visual language, it invites viewers to reflect on the transformation and expansion of contemporary art within the traditional culture context.
The core theme, the "Realm of Heaven and Earth", stems from Professor Tang's enduring reflections on natural ecology and humanistic concerns. It unfolds through three major series:
The Flowing Colors: comprehensive material paintings that explore the rhythms of nature through abstract expression.
Meditation on Materiality: installation works that create dialogical spaces and fields using acrylic and natural materials.
The Profundity of Lacquer: lacquer art series that reinterprets traditional craftsmanship within a contemporary framework.
These three series complement one another, weaving a coherent narrative structure that moves from material to spirit, and from tradition to modernity.
