Exhibition Viewing Site

Liu Yunquan is a highly influential contemporary artist who has dedicated decades to depicting plum blossoms. Rooted in tradition, he has developed a distinctive style characterized by freshness, elegance, and vigorous brushwork. His exhibited works—some with sparse, slanting branches, others blooming like snow—carry forward the aesthetic legacy of the Song and Yuan dynasties while infusing modern sensibilities and humanistic sentiment, offering a fresh perspective within traditional paradigms.

The exhibition will run until January 15, 2026.
