White Box Museum will host Song Yonghong’s works exhibition - "Drilling wood to get water: Song Yonghong". The exhibition is planned by the critics Duan Jun, and Song Yonghong’s ten works created in last two years will be on display, which includes five woodcuts and five watercolors. The opening time is September 15, 2013, and will be on until October 15, 2013. The catalog printed along with the exhibition will include Song Yonghong personal narrate about art and life in the 1989-2012, which is a total of twenty thousand words, and has a certain literature value.

Song Yonghong studied in the Print Academy of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in the 1980s. 1985, he painted "Public Bathroom" with watercolor; 1988, he created a few copperplate paintings "Unfamiliar Environment"; 1989, he created a lot of oil paintings on canvas, and entered at once in the most important Chinese contemporary artists ranks since 1990s. His woodcut creation undoubtedly has interrupted for a long time. The exhibition's title——Drilling wood for water, implies a wood (woodcut) and water (watercolor). In recent years, woodcut and watercolor again let Song Yonghong find new emotions and feelings. Originally, Drilling Wood is to make fire, but now for water. Maybe giving up the goals set can have unexpected results.
