Exhibition of Flourishing Age Exhibit, Monday, 15 September 2008

Written by Coltsfan   -  View all my reviews  - Top 50 Reviewer

Recently I had the opportunity to visit the Southeast Gallery to view the "Exhibition of Flourishing Age Vision" oil paintings by Niu Yungong. This Gallery, which opened in 2000, is relatively small with exhibit rooms on two floors. The first floor is the main exhibit of painter Niu Yungong and his very interesting use of imagination and his own dreams to create 22 paintings of women in various poses of conversation, relaxation, or just being. The facial detail is almost non-existent, allowing the viewer to fill in the detail. The colors are also very dreamlike with very few harsh colors but lots of shades of tan, putty, and taupe. The painting by Niu are valued at 20,000 to 60,000RMB with an expectation of an increase in value of 10% to 20% each year according to the Gallery owner (one of his dreams, I’m sure). The upstairs exhibit room is filled with Niu’s work from his year in St. Petersburg, Russia and almost totally scenes from St. Petersburg . Perhaps some of our Russian members might like to have a look at his view of this historic Russian city. His assistant, DalianXpat member, Sunsea, was very helpful in explaining the exhibit, as was the artist himself.

Modern Art Exhibit at Dalian Southeast Gallery, Friday, 14 September 2007

Written by Pender   -  View all my reviews  - Top 500 Reviewer

The Modern Art Exhibit at the Dalian South East Gallery is a refreshing change from the traditional painting and calligraphy so often seen in Chinese galleries.

About a dozen artists are represented and show in bronze, oil, watercolour, pen & ink, and oil. The two large woodcuts at the entrance are a testament to a traditional style that has been taken up a few notches. The intricate designs are precise and invite a closer look to determine the patterns. Around the corner a different artist’s woodcuts represent a simpler form that allows the viewer to step back and admire the whole scene.

In the same room two oil paintings, one of a street scene and the other of a moon bridge over a river, would be at home in any gallery in North America or Europe. They are both painted with subdued colours in broad, sweeping brush strokes. Two other landscape paintings are bright and give the sense of tranquil pasturelands. The use of pointillism is at its best in another two landscape scenes that remind one of Impressionist works.

The upstairs gallery contains some colour pen & ink works of peonies and chrysanthemums but the works are looser and more natural looking... These are exquisitely matted and framed making them very appealing. My personal favourite is a work by 徐惠泉 (Xú Huì Quán). It shows two women in a classical setting, namely at toilette. The artist’s use of minimal cubism on the women’s faces gives a hint of early Picasso. However, the resemblance ends with the juxtaposition of realistic detail for hair ornaments, foliage, and especially for the little accessories and pieces of pottery. Xú’s skilled pen strokes create a batik-like effect on the women’s gowns giving the fabric crispness expected in folds of silk.

After enquiring about the price of the work, 80,000 RMB, we felt a small 20 RMB picture book of his works was a great remembrance of a worthwhile show.
