CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On June 22, Li Changlong Solo Exhibition opened at the Art Museum of Southwest University.

It is reported that this exhibition is the first exhibition of Southwest University Fine Arts Discipline Centennial Series Exhibitions. This exhibition displays 65 works which are made by the artist Li Changlong, and constitute the “1995 Southwest Normal University College of Fine Arts Sketch Course Teaching Literature”.

The person in charge said that on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the School of Fine Arts, Southwest University, the exhibition of Li Changlong, a distinguished alumnus, has provided a mutual vision and isomorphic model of “teaching” and “learning” for contemporary art education in China, and inspired significance for the contemporary art exhibition and contemporary art education.

As an Associate Professor at Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts, Sichuan Conservatory of Music, Li Changlong has persistently devoted himself to the research, interpretation, rendition and        creation of sketch, painting and contemporary art for more than 20 years. With his insight, thinking, judgment and artistic expression, he is active in the domestic and international contemporary art display platform.

On the scene, a work titled caught everyone’s attention. This work depicts the author’s youngest daughter, and the paper-based work uses handmade bark paper and gesso base, which is made in eight layers to create an effect similar to that of a mural. This work is drawn in a manner that follows classical sketching techniques, striving to achieve perfection in detail and texture.

Li Changlong introduced that on the one hand, returning to his alma mater to hold this exhibition was giving back to the teaching and reminiscence of his own learning experience, and on the other hand, he was also trying to break through the traditional mode of teaching and artistic thinking of College Sketch, and narrating the history of the discipline in the form of documentary presentation.

This exhibition will last until September 16, and you can bring your ID card to visit this exhibition for free. (Translated by Liu Hongyan, Fathom Language Limited)
