Audience watching the exhibition is promising
Chen Zhixiong advocates blending the aesthetic appeal of traditional Chinese paintings with poetry and calligraphy. The Chinese painting Kapok uses calligraphy to depict the branches of a dragon, and uses the calligraphy and dotted rhythm to draw flowers with different pitches. Regarding the pursuit of poetry and painting, Chen Zhixiong said: "Every time I unfold the paper, I often recall the ancient poems I read. For example, Li Bai's verse "Dream and Dream" said "None for clothes, wind for horses, king of clouds." One after another', this anthropomorphic style of writing and writing clouds can inspire me to think of it like a group of soldiers in the Mercedes-Benz battlefield, each with a gesture of blossoming red cotton."
The painting exhibition also exhibited a number of calligraphy works with Chen Zhixiong's ancient and modern Kapok poems. His calligraphy works have been invited to participate in calligraphy and painting exhibitions in many countries and regions.
In order to share with readers at home and abroad who failed to reach the exhibition site due to the epidemic situation, the "Cloud Show", which compiles all the works of the exhibition, was launched simultaneously on the public platform of Huanghuagang Park.
