Beyond Tradition: The Metamorphosis of Chinese Art


  • Alisan Fine Arts Cromwell Place London, England, SW7 United Kingdom (map)

I will be showing two of the first few small watercolour paintings I made in London in this group exhibition. This will also be my first exhibition in London since relocating here from Hong Kong in late June 2023.


Alisan Fine Arts is excited to announce our participation in this year's Asian Art In London autumn event. We will be presenting the works of 16 distinguished Chinese artists from different generations and diverse backgrounds. This exhibition aims to underline the manifold and profound evolution of Chinese art over the past fifty years, by showcasing how each artist reinterpret classical subject-matters of Chinese art by incorporating innovative materials and creative methods while preserving the traditional culture and spirit. To enhance the viewing experience and create an intimate atmosphere, our exhibition will feature a salon-style hanging presentation, encouraging a more immersive and interconnected experience, while allowing viewers to explore the intricate details and connections within the exhibition.
