Description
Alisan Fine Arts is proud to present Xu Jianguo’s solo exhibition “Poetic Cityscapes,” offering a new vision of cosmopolitan centres around the world. Painted in Song Dynasty artistic style, these panoramas blend the past with the present, offering a commentary on the future of our culture. Chinese diaspora artist Xu Jianguo has lived in New York for over three decades. Aside from painting, he has devoted his scholarly life to researching Chinese art history, Chinese philosophy and Western art history and has been a champion of East-West intercultural exchange. The 20 paintings on silk canvas featured in this exhibit testify to his cross-cultural heritage and demonstrate the transformation of classical Chinese painting into modern urban landscapes. This is the first time for Alisan to hold a solo exhibition for Xu Jianguo. The works on show date from 2009-2018, the most recent ones created specifically for this exhibition.
