Overview
In ancient Chinese philosophy, the world is thought to consist of a balance of yin and yang. The procession of the four seasons is also considered to be a function of yin and yang; it is said that in the spring, the energy of yang begins to rise and plants begin to sprout, and in the summer, yang’s energy reaches its peak and stimulates growth. In this exhibition, we introduce Chinese calligraphy and painting with themes of spring and summer, which are powerful and full of vitality.
