The forefathers created characters to record the trace of civilizations and the artists depict human history and culture with their brushes. In the prehistoric period, people living on the land of Xi’an scribed their recognition of nature and everything with characters and paintings, which gradually developed into their understanding of art and its structure. Until modern times, Chang’an painting and calligraphy school has flourished, in which, generations of painting and calligraphy artists portray legends with their brushes and expound their wisdom with their chisels. In the splendid art history, they left their remarkable works depicting people’s colorful lives in the ancient city-Xi’an.
Ink Wash:Xi’an Selected Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition is co-hosted by China Cultural Centre in Sydney and Xi’an Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism. With Chinese paintings, calligraphy works and brick rubbings of portraits in the Han Dynasty as the main carriers of arts, the Exhibition tells a vivid story of the historical evolution in the ancient city-Xi’an. Straight or winding lines with dynamics showcase the glamour of the traditional Chinese culture. Contemporary artists of Chinese painting and calligraphy works in the Exhibition take roots in their lives in the Loess Plateau and demonstrate their distinguished artistic styles with their profound cultural deposits and strong local characteristics in novel aesthetics and expressions.
Touring in the Exhibition, you can trace the origin of complicated methods of the art of Chinese painting and calligraphy, and feel the vast humanistic world with the long-lasting history and sublime culture of Xi’an through enjoyable visual effects. It’s believed that the Exhibition will lead more Australian friends to understand Xi’an culture and feel Chinese style more. It also will bridge the gap between peoples of both sides and promote mutual learning of civilizations of China and Australia.
