Wang Tiande: Beyond Reach
Closing Saturday, April 18, 2026

There’ still time to experience two solo presentations by artists Fu Xiaotong and Wang Tiande at Alisan Fine Arts before they close on April 18!

Both artists are inspired by the Chinese landscape painting tradition, taking nature as their primary theme. Moreover, both are pioneers in material manipulation, pushing the boundaries of traditional Chinese ink and Xuan paper in contemporary art practice.

Based in Berlin, Fu Xiaotong is known for her intricate paper pinhole creations of “traditional” landscape compositions.  In her recent works, she  interprets the natural world from two contrasting perspectives: from afar, in her serene, distant mountain and water-scapes, and on a microcosmic level, in her investigation of plant cells and organic tissue. In some pieces, forms appear densely aggregated, resembling cellular structures; in others, the dispersion and branching of pinholes evoke patterns of growth, division, or migration found in living systems.

Wang Tiande: Beyond Reach features the artist’s latest works, which fuse his technique of burning incense into Xuan paper with his more recent practice of attaching older traditional artworks directly onto his compositions. This practice began several years ago—while viewing Ming-dynasty paintings in a friend’s collection, Wang considered the potential to combine authentic historical paintings and calligraphy with his own burned and painted works. An avid collector of older artwork, he began layering and attaching pieces from his collection to his own creations. The resulting works occupy a hybrid state, part historical ‘ready-made’ and part contemporary painting, presented as artifacts in pristine, black shadow-box frames.

Installation view, Contemplation / Meditation: Concepts and Cultures

Contemplation / Meditation: Concepts and Cultures
Closing Saturday, April 11, 2026
65 East 80th Street, NYC

Don’t miss your last chance to experience Contemplation / Meditation: Concepts and Cultures at Fu Qiumeng Fine Art before it closes April 11. Co-curated by Fu Qiumeng and Jeffrey Wechsler, the exhibition offers a compelling dialogue between Eastern and Western artistic traditions, exploring how artists across cultures have envisioned inner stillness, reflection, and heightened states of awareness.

Rooted in classical Chinese philosophy, the exhibition draws inspiration from Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist thought, where inner cultivation and cosmic order are understood as deeply interconnected. From Confucian contemplation—emphasizing moral clarity, calm reflection, and self-perfection—to Daoist and Zen practices of meditation that quiet the mind, dissolve conceptual thinking, and release ego attachment, Eastern traditions have long approached art not as visual imitation, but as a conduit for spiritual resonance and embodied presence.

In contrast and dialogue, the exhibition also considers Western artists who, whether intuitively or through direct engagement with Eastern philosophy, pursued similar contemplative states. Featuring works that range from classical and modern East Asian art to modern and contemporary American painting, Contemplation / Meditation presents images that are sometimes representational, often abstract, and always oriented toward inducing clarity, calmness, or mental acuity.

Through restrained brushwork, expansive emptiness, spontaneous gesture, and subtle fields of color, the exhibition reveals how different cultural frameworks converge in a shared pursuit: using art to access states of stillness, insight, and presence.

The exhibition includes works by Arnold Chang, Michael Cherney, Duxi Chen, Hisao Hanafusa, Zhang Xiaoli, Brandon Sadler, Luo Min, Fung Ming Chip, Tang Ke, Wang Mansheng, Yau Wingfung, Sal Sirugo, and Rollin Crampton, among others.

At Marble House, Alva Belmont—formerly Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt—transformed the Chinese Tea House into a powerful stage for social change. Opened in the early 20th century, the Tea House debuted with a gathering of supporters from the Political Equality Association, the suffrage organization she founded in 1909. In the years that followed, it became a vibrant setting for rallies, lectures, and events advocating for women’s rights.

Designed by Hunt and Hunt at a cost exceeding $100,000, the Tea House stands as both an architectural gem and a symbol of progress.

Today, this beautifully restored landmark invites guests to enjoy a unique dining experience at the iconic Chinese Tea House, set on the grounds of Marble House above the historic Cliff Walk. Recently reopened for the season, Newport Mansions has partnered with Stoneacre Restaurants to offer an elegant prix fixe brunch and afternoon tea featuring seasonal ingredients and artisan purveyors. With a welcome beverage, a refined tea tower of savories and sweets, and a choice of entrée—served, fittingly, on “Votes for Women” china—it is an experience that seamlessly blends history, elegance, and occasion.
