This exhibition explores the close relationship between calligraphy and traditional ink-and-brush painting in Chinese culture, highlighting Mao Zedong's reputation as a renowned calligrapher. It demonstrates how Chinese contemporary art maintains a unique character, even as many artists incorporate Western techniques, often blending influences that reflect the enduring significance of traditional forms. The exhibit reveals how modern works, whether in oils or acrylics, are imbued with echoes of classical Chinese art, creating a distinctive visual resonance.
