KUALA LUMPUR: Local artist and calligrapher Dr Cheng Haw-Chien is holding a joint Chinese art exhibition with two world-renowned calligraphy painting artists until the coming Sunday.
Xu, 73, from Beijing, China, is the son of late Chinese master Xu Beihong, who was one of the pioneering Chinese artists to set the direction of modern Chinese painting at the beginning of the 20th century.
Having advised countless international students and scholars from 16 different countries, Chen is still active in reviewing Chinese ancient artworks. He also had many solo exhibitions before in Moscow as well as the Jiangsu and Shandong provinces in China.The “Trilogy” art exhibition consists of 30 pieces of ink paintings and calligraphy work, featuring mainly flowers, animals and scenery jointly completed by at least two of the three artists.
Cheng, who is known for his Chinese calligraphy and poems as well as finding his muse in his everyday experiences, pointed out that a mutual understanding is important in any art collaboration.“Otherwise things won’t come together if we only bother about painting our own stuff,” he said, adding that the kind of paper, brush and colouring used also have a great effect on the painting.
