The Mountains Show and Hide: Color in the Landscape Paintings of Arnold Chang
April 25 – June 22, 2024
Rotations: April 25–May 25 & May 28–June 22
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 25 from 5-8pm

Fu Qiumeng Fine Art is delighted to present The Mountains Show and Hide: Color in the Landscape Paintings of Arnold Chang, the first solo exhibition of Arnold Chang (張洪) in New York since 1996. 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. 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.

There will be two rotations throughout the exhibition run with the first one on view from April 25th through May 25th, and the second one on view from May 28th through June 22nd, 2024. The gallery will also present several related programs including an insightful artist’s dialogue with the exhibition curator followed by an artist demonstration on May 26th and another conversation with Xian Fang, the former Head of Sales and Vice President in Classical Chinese Paintings Department at Sotheby’s New York, who has been working with Chang for over a decade, about the history of the classical Chinese paintings market in New York on June 16th.  Further details on these upcoming events will be posted on this site.
