Embracing my daughter to bid farewell to medical staff in Hubei, volunteers registered for temperature measurement at the gates of the community, and grass-roots police on duty day and night to strengthen prevention and control ... all appeared in the pen of painter Hu Shiyue of Shanxi Province. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, she has followed the news every day, collected hundreds of related information pictures, and obtained creative materials and inspiration.

"As an art worker, I should fight with the paintbrushes in this battle without the smoke of the epidemic. I made statues of them fighting in the front line to show my respect." It took a month, Hu Shiyue created more than ten paintings related to the epidemic.

Like Hu Shiyue, many artists from all over China devoted themselves to writing, using their pens to record front-line medical personnel, public security police, and community workers. At the same time, the China Artists Association has collected works nationwide on the theme of combating new crown pneumonia, and launched "cloud exhibitions" on its official website and WeChat public account.

The works of artists from Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hubei and other places have been exhibited in the "Cloud Exhibition" of the Chinese Artists Association. Among the many works, Xiao Gu, the director of Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute's "Epilogue Record", records the living conditions of urban residents during the epidemic from a public perspective, which looks different.

Xiao Gu entered the Shanghai 2020 Spring in his sketchbook. His writings are the people who are gradually out of the "stop" state with masks as the work resumes, or the old Kellers who wear masks to listen to the symphony in the sun ...

Deng Liyuan and her daughter's house from Jincheng, Shanxi Province, for half a month, hand-drawn a picture book of the "epidemic" comic. More than 40 paintings recorded the retrograde assistance of medical staff, the construction of the Vulcan Mountain and the Thunder Mountain Hospital, donations and donations from around the world, and the acceleration of production of anti-epidemic materials.

Under the epidemic, Li Ruibo, a "post-90s" man who was clinging to his post, was a railway linker. He has loved painting since he was a child, and condensed into a group of paintings expressing the persistence of the railway man in various posts and his determination to fight the epidemic.

This nationwide participation in the pen-tip battle of the epidemic ranges from masters in the art world to painting enthusiasts, from professional to amateur. The constant change is to use a pen to draw a hundred states of the epidemic, and these works provide a better understanding of China in the future. Another perspective.

Recently, Shu Yong, a member of the China Artists Association, and artist Shu Yong shared a "Daily Painting" work he created during the outbreak during a public welfare speech. "Through these works, at any time in the future, you can feel the spirit of people in the disaster, as well as the origin, connotation, realistic expression of this spirit, and its significance to the country, nation, humanity and the future."
