The Mountains Show and Hide: Color in the Landscape Paintings of Arnold Chang
Closing Saturday, June 22, 2024
65 East 80th St, Ground Floor, NYC

There’s still time to view this first solo exhibition of Arnold Chang (張洪) in New York since 1996 at Fu Qiumeng Fine Art before it closes this Saturday.

While Chang in his fifty-year career as an artist has painted ink landscapes in the traditional Chinese literati manner, this exhibition, showcasing Chang’s landscape paintings of the past ten years, marks his newly developed approach of seamlessly integrating color into his personal vision of landscape. In contrast to most classical Chinese literati paintings, where color was often an afterthought that followed the forms realized through ink lines and washes, Chang treats ink lines and flat color washes as separate components.

The exhibition is curated by Joy Xiao Chen, Ph.D. candidate in Art History at the University of California, Los Angeles and the former Sylvan C. Coleman and Pam Coleman Memorial Fund Fellow in the Department of Asian Art from 2021 to 2023 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
