Beijing 2024 - National Museum of China (中国国家博物馆) Painting Exhibition

Next we have exhibition of paintings. And so many pf them too! And one of the uniqueness of Chinese painting is the ink art and it's minimalistic approach to painting. I was looking forward to it. Even in Singapore, when I have too much time, I would visit the National Gallery to see whatever art pieces were on display. And sure enough, there are usually some Chinese art painting on display which I love.


Lot's of Chinese explanation on the painting display. I'll leave you to it.


Again, the hall was beatifuly lighted. 


More info. Apologies if the wordings are a bit blur -__-"""


A display of a painter's desk. Everything is so freaking organised. And so little paint or colours are needed for a Chinese painting. 


One of the artist who was on displayed when we were visiting. 


A self portrait of himself when he was younger. I just love the colour tone of the display.


A hall of emerald green displaying all the ink art pieces, just black and red paintings on a wall of emerald dark green. That itself was art itself! Lol. China, you do display excellently! And I don't say this lightly. You will be surprised when I show you some of the display they have in their library when I reach those post. Mind blowing! In a library!


I love minimalistic art.


There were also a few Buddhist art pieces here, and I love these. It's like, painting, yet vague. The bottom part is like a painting melted. So fitting for a religious piece.


Or this simple piece with warm colours, no facial expression, and also rather vague. Just a vague image. Everything else is up to the looker of the painting. It's so open ended!


Another piece in the same style.


And finally a final piece in this collection. It's so simple yet so lovely and calming :) Buddhism doesn't need jewels or wealth to display its beauty. Just a few colours and vague lines and shapes, lol. Enlightenment.
