Contemporary Landscapes: From Modern Classics to the New Vanguard
In 2016, Alisan Fine Arts presented “Contemporary Landscapes: From Modern Classics to the New Vanguard” at Art Basel Hong Kong 2016. The gallery featured 8 contemporary Chinese artists. The display aimed to examine the shifting currents in landscape painting within the ink tradition.
Each artist –whether consciously or unconsciously– represented a trend in the hope to ‘modernize’ or ‘revitalize’ the Chinese tradition of landscape painting. They recalled tropes from the Song dynasty in form and content or sought new inspiration from artistic traditions in and around the East/West dichotomy. The aim of this curated selection of works was to attest to the pluralism existent in modern and contemporary ink painting.
