Dai Guangyu’s And Thus Is This Land is a work of participatory performance art to be held and exhibited in the Focus Gallery in conjunction with the special exhibition Canton Modern: Art and Visual Culture, 1900s–1970s. Invited artists and art students will collaboratively recreate This Land So Rich in Beauty (1959), a monumental landscape by Fu Baoshi (1904–1965) and Guan Shanyue (1912–2000). An icon of modern Chinese art history, This Land So Rich in Beauty hung in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People from the time of its creation until 1990, when it was replaced with a replica. Guangdong-born Guan Shanyue is considered one of the four contemporary masters of the Lingnan School of Painting, and his works are featured in Canton Modern.
I write about every exhibition I went to, and I go to almost every exhibition there is in Hong Kong. I shoot and edit my own photos for this blog.
I enjoy visiting artists and seeing their studios. I show them the way I see them, hopefully revealing something interesting.
I’m a proudly independent art blogger with no affiliation to any organisation. I blog because I love art and support the artists.
