TheOdetoSpring Group Exhibition
《春盤賦》聯展
“TheOdetoSpring”For individuals, spring marks the beginning of annual planning, as the lush greenery of plants and blooming flowers symbolize the rejuvenation and vitality of all existence. Ancient traditions include consuming "spring dishes," a selection of pungent vegetables, on the first day of spring to welcome the new year, and now we continue this tradition with the beauty of flowers. Flowers symbolize the prosperity of life; they are a beautiful emblem of hope and renewal, as well as a spiritual refuge during moments of seeking tranquility. Throughout history, flowers have been celebrated in literature and art. In Western art history, we admire Vincent van Gogh's series of sunflowers and Claude Monet's enchanting water lilies. In Chinese art, we appreciate the refined and serene floral works by San Yu, infused with Eastern philosophical thoughts, and Lin Feng Mian's ink paintings capturing the elegance and poetic essence of flowers. Artists express their love for flowers, praise them, and paint them, conveying their emotions through flowers, which are then reflected in their artwork. In the realm of still life art, the essence of blooming flowers captured on canvas immortalizes the beauty and vitality of nature. While flowers may have their fleeting blooming season, their eternal splendor in paintings transcends time. Within expressive artworks, flowers serve as conduits for artists' emotions, granting them the freedom to paint akin to the growth of branches and leaves without restraint. Through our group exhibition, we aim to welcome the new year with spring blossoms amidst the chaos of the world, inviting viewers to engage in a dialogue between past and present within each art piece and to appreciate life's small yet exquisite wonders together. Commencing the new year with such beauty, we anticipate a year filled with prosperity. This exhibition will bring together different media such as oil painting, acrylic, and ink to present various aspects of flowers.
