上海合作组织峰会仍在北京继续召开,组织者从众多的国家带来了异国情调风格的艺术作品。
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit continues in Beijing, organizers have brought art works from a host of countries that were once on the path of the ancient Silk Road. Exotic oil paintings along with traditional water color works have dazzled audiences at the Great Hall of the People.
A real treat for art lovers as the exhibition presented over 120 works by the finest artists. From portraits to landscapes, works depicting everyday life. There’s something for almost everybody.
The artists were not just eager to share their works, but their understanding of the entire event as well.
Wang Zhong , painter, said, "This a very energetic art show, because it’s organizer, the SCO is rich in energy and diversity. It’s wonderful that all the artists are depicting the beauty of their homelands with bright and rich colors. To match this vibrancy, my painting here shows sunshine splashed across a garden."
Stanley Lee, Beijing, said, "Speaking of vibrancy and sunshine I can find no better example than this....I’m already off to Chinese fairyland."
The contrasting elements are not just a display of opposites, but also of colors, tradition and modernity. Another element the artists are trying to communicate is emotions.
Mikhail Kudrevatyi, painter, said, "This is a landscape painting of Russia, I was deeply touched by the sight of a powerful gust sweeping across the forest with the radiance of the Sunlight, so I wanted to communicate my emotions with this work. "
Things got even more emotional when Emomalii Rahmon the President of Tajikistan descended on the scene, but it seems even with his presence the real star of the day is still the artworks themselves.
