Wan Fung Art Gallery proudly presents to you the “Exploration and Innovation - New Works of Wu Qiming” starting from 10 -23 December. The opening reception will be held at 3pm, 10 December. Wu is a talented artist which was discovered by Wan Fung Art Gallery. He has been humbly dedicating for fifty years and has become well known among the Chinese artists and art lovers in recent year. In his long term artistic creation, Wu invents a new kind of brushwork and establishes his distinctive personal style. Furthermore, he opens up a new category in Chinese art history. This exhibition will exhibit the most outstanding works of Wu. We welcome all art lovers to join the opening reception.

While most artists specialize in one particular topic, Wu, with his unique style, paints a variety of topics, such as traditional farmhouse and garden, flowers-and-birds, wooden furniture, temple and modern buildings, wood-craving sculptures and dummy figures, indicating that Wu has a superb level of observation and modelling skill. He has a strong ability to extract the extraordinary beauty from common things. No doubt that Wu’s painting skill has reached a mature level. In his art world, there is no boarder and limitation. He keeps exploring new objects and topics to paint. This would not be an easy task without a high level of painting skill.

There are two main themes in Wu’s paintings. The first one is the farmhouse. Chickens and farm tool were depicted accurately with his unique technique. The feather of chicken and the wooden texture were painted in detail, which becomes a special characteristic of Wu’s work. The other theme is the common objects which relate to daily life, such as books, chess, still lifes, houses and temple. Wu’s works were painted with natural colors and refined brushstrokes to compose a harmonic scene of quiet and settling nature. The real world and the inner world of Wu combined seamlessly. The still scenes lead the audience to their peace of mind.
