\"Pomegranates
\nThe opening ceremony was a grand occasion attended by government officials, renowned artists, critics, and distinguished members of society. The exhibition is overwhelmingly well received by art lovers and popularly visited by the public. During his remarks, Lu Ximing, Vice President of Shanghai International Culture and Art Exchange Association expressed his best wishes for the perfect success of the Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang Art Exhibition.<\/p>\n

The China Review News reported on\u00a0May 20\u00a0about the opening of Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang Art Exhibition on May 18. The review stated: “Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s artistic achievement is at the highest level of the Class of Ease. Her paintings are both super-realistic and of abstract, surrealistic style. The physical forms emanate a spiritual dimension. Dr. Wang’s skills are exquisite and profound, and her works carry a strong scholarly spirit. She is a preeminent international maestro in the arts.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.
\nEarly 2019, the New York Academy of Art formally recognized the outstanding artistic accomplishment of Dr.\u00a0Yuhua Shouzhi Wang\u00a0and determined that she is a preeminent international artist of first class standing. The Academy presented Dr. Wang with a certificate jointly signed by the President and the Provost. In the same year, a small painting\u00a0Pomegranates in a Bamboo Basket<\/em> of the size 18 by 27 inches was auctioned at the highest price of\u00a0US$1.27 million\u00a0during the Spring Auction at the Gianguan Auction House in New York.<\/p>\n

Seventy of Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s artworks of first class international standing are presented in this exhibition, including ink paintings of distinguished style, super-realistic paintings, and surrealistic paintings of abstract colors. These artworks reflect\u00a0how Dr. Wang is recognized with the status of a preeminent international artist of first class standing. Her substantial and exquisite skills are the reason she has attained such an accomplishment.”<\/p>\n

Professor Gu Xingyi of\u00a0Guangzhou University School of Humanities, who is a master student supervisor, a member of the Guangdong Writers Association, and Director of the Guangdong Province Collectors Association, remarked: “Each of Dr. Wang’s artworks carries the likeness of ‘form’ and the likeness of ‘spirit.’ She arrives at natural ease by using simple brushstrokes that fully capture the forms. Each of her works is refreshing, memorable, and leaves the viewers with a wonderful aftertaste. These artworks\u00a0are exceptionally rare and precious, and extremely collectible. The artworks in this exhibition are of the highest quality of the Class of Ease\u2026Ancient scholars were of the opinion that the quality of a person’s art reflects the quality of their personality\u2026The excellence of the Class of Ease that Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s paintings have attained is precisely a reflection of her noble character.”<\/p>\n

The art review in\u00a0Lang Mo\u00a0states: “With the suspending strokes of the brush, ink splashes in a dancing rhythm, merging with the white space in the composition. In the Qing Dynasty, a poem of the philosopher Wang Chuanshan says: ‘A piece of cloud takes on the color of the sun. The light comes neither from within nor without, has no shape and no details. It gives the impression of infinite passion, yet once the passion is dissipated, one does not retain any recollections.’<\/p>\n

Mr. Zhong Baihua once said that the ultimate ideal and the highest accomplishment in Chinese art is when an artist can use the swiftness of brushstrokes to capture the imagery while manifesting the essence of the universe from within one’s heart. In Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s landscape, flower and bird paintings, not only can we experience such a state, we can also experience the candor of the modern art of painting, and the spiritual impact when art connects directly with our inner mind.<\/p>\n

The paintings of Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang radiate brightness. This is not the brightness from light, or from the perception of light in Western oil paintings. This brightness is all-encompassing. Dr. Yuhua Shouzi Wang’s paintings are rooted in the vigorousness of Eastern philosophy while incorporating the modern elements of Western painting. Her art emanates the inner beauty of her spirit and a greatly generous state of mind.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s inscriptions are penned in a graceful manner and an elegant style. Her penmanship is delightful and profound, emanating the radiance of nobility. Her calligraphy marvelously blends in with the painting composition, transcending the form to manifest the essence. Dr. Wang is highly achieved in manifesting the deeply meditative quality of Chinese art. The painterly charm of the calligraphy is condensed in the boundless white space upon which a flower, a bird, a tree, a stone, a mountain, or a river illusively appear to deliver the message of boundless deep passion and the immensity of meditative contemplation. The art reflects the greatly universal love of this maestro of fine culture who treats all beings and all matters in the universe with the great love of equal-mindedness. Every detail of the grass, the trees, the mountains and the rocks are created by wondrous brushstrokes. The rendition of the brushstrokes in the style of ease emanates marvelous subtleties and nuances.”<\/p>\n

Cheng Lanmei, Chairperson of the World Council of Women Artists said: “I am deeply touched after viewing several paintings consecutively. Initially, I thought that the works were painted by a male artist because of the power, the bold spirit, the way the artist uses dry brush and wet brush, and the superb control over light and dark ink colors. Truly speaking, as an oil painter, I paint as if I am creating ink painting in a very clean cut and precise manner. But truly, the difficulties in creating oil paintings cannot be compared to the difficulties in creating ink paintings. It is tremendously difficult to create ink paintings. That’s why I deeply admire Dr. Wang’s accomplishment in these paintings.”<\/p>\n

Vincent Robbins, Tenure Professor at the\u00a0renowned\u00a0Art Center College of Design\u00a0in Los Angeles\u00a0and the Artistic Director of Rare Art Inc.\u00a0U.S.A., said in his opening speech: “Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s paintings are sought after by insightful people in the West. Dr. Wang has lived and worked in the West for a long time, she is familiar with the creative characteristics of Western paintings. Dr. Wang applies Chinese ink-wash painting techniques with ease, adopting their strengths in her own creations. Dr. Wang has skillfully integrated the detailed fine brushwork in Western oil paintings and the freehand brushwork in Chinese paintings, as well as the colors of Western oil paintings and the lines of Chinese paintings. Both the Chinese and the Western cultures are blended in her paintings. They are bold and innovative. Dr. Wang’s paintings give the viewers a refreshing feeling.”<\/p>\n
