[2024 Chengdu Attraction] Travel Guide for Xuliaoyuan Modern Design Art Museum (Updated Oct)

Discover the charm of sketching in just one exhibition.

What do you think sketching is? A stepping stone to art school, a basic skill for becoming an artist, or a draft for a large painting? If you think so, this exhibition will change your mind. Beyond the rigorous composition and projection, sketching can be lively and beautiful. / Another question, do you think oil painting is more advanced than sketching and colored pencil painting? In this exhibition, you will find that the works drawn with seemingly ordinary tools such as pencils, charcoal, and colored powder are not inferior in expressiveness. / He Duoling thinks sketching is abstract because it has no color. In his view, sketching is not a draft of oil painting, but a completely different species. / The exhibition opened near the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was quite festive to see the moon. I have some curious questions about Zhu Keran's moon: Why do these two moons appear in the exhibition at the same time? Why is one blingbling and the other has no special decorative elements? / The relatively simple moon is created with charcoal on the canvas. Zhu Keran feels that this graininess is like cosmic dust in imagination. Another blingbling moon is like stars or other galaxies in the universe. The two works form a contrast. In addition to whether they shine, the bright part in "Moon Watching-1" is dim in "Moon Watching-2", which hides the meaning of Tai Chi. / I have seen Chen Qiangge's works before, and my impression at the time was: "Ah? Sketching can be like this?" I also have this feeling this time. Draw a good cut and mount it on the cardboard. The dazzling eyes have a feeling of blurring the material, like a work on a stone slab. / What is the special meaning of colored lines? There are separate squares in some pictures, and there is no specific content on them. What is this existence for? / Chen Qiangge: "It's a cliff stone carving. When we visit, we see obvious colors, red, yellow and blue, and even red and green. It is similar to the stone carving cave in terms of color feeling." The inspiration for the independent small squares and some dark squares in the main picture comes from the traces left by the craftsmen on the stone wall.
