Date: 25 Jun - 11 Jul 2014
Gallery by the Harbour and Yan Gallery presents a forthcoming exhibition entitled “Seasons of Grey” by Taiwan-based Chinese artist Pang Jiun at Gallery by the Harbour. The exhibition will showcase about twenty oil on canvas paintings, which can be divided up into still life compositions, and landscape scenes of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Pang’s style blends Western Impressionism with Chinese characteristics. Particularly noteworthy are his depictions of the Li River in Guilin, in which he elegantly portrays the mountains, rivers, trees and flowers of that region. Using tones of grey, he masterfully conveys the clouds and misty rainfall and dramatic scenery. Although using a western medium he artfully combines this with an eastern sensibility reminiscent of oriental literati paintings. A serene and tranquil mood pervades these works, making them highly attractive and desirable.
