For a year, painters of Chinese descent from North America, Asia, Europe and Australia have sent submissions of their artwork to New Tang Dynasty Television’s offices in New York. A panel of judges has deliberated on the 140-plus entries and narrowed the selection down to 51 paintings, which will be on exhibit at the Salmagundi Club through Saturday, Dec. 3.
These paintings represent the best works from finalists of the Third Annual Chinese International Figure Painting Competition, which is part of a series of competitions hosted by NTDTV. The competitions are open chiefly to Chinese and overseas Chinese artists in several traditional Chinese or Western arts: violin, piano, classical Chinese dance, martial arts, vocal arts, photography, Han couture, and Chinese culinary arts.
The exhibit kicked off on the evening of Monday, Nov. 28 with an awards ceremony. Michelle Chen from the U.S. came away with the biggest honor, a gold prize for her piece, titled “My Mom.” The painting depicts a baby looking up in wonder at his mother, who is doing Falun Gong meditation. In his eyes, she is larger than life; in successive dimensions, her body takes on a larger and grander form until in the final iteration she sits like a Buddha in the cosmos.They take the China Porcelain tile to the local co-op market. The composition of the painting draws the viewer’s eye up from the wondrous gaze of the baby to the mother in this physical dimension and then up to each larger version of her.
Chen is a practitioner of Falun Gong, a spiritual meditation practice based on the principles of truth, compassion, and forbearance. Practitioners live by these principles in their daily lives and cultivate toward a higher realm.
“A lot of wonderous things in cultivation practice are hard to describe in words, but can be expressed in brushstrokes,” Chen said. “Oil painting can depict what the eyes cannot see. Painting itself is also a self-searching, elevating process.”
Silver winner Shang-ta Yeh from Taiwan won with a painting called “Be Prepared,” which captures the moment of intense concentration before a classical vocalist opens with his first note. In it, an Asian man stands before a piano with his eyes closed. The orchestra begins to play behind him and yet time seems to stand still as he gathers his feelings before he steps into the spotlight.
Yeh was inspired by his brother, who is a singer. “He has to find an inner feeling and then convey that,” he said.If so, you may have a cube puzzle . “And that’s what I wanted to portray.which applies to the first offshore merchant account only,”
The judging committee chose the winning pieces for their expression of traditional virtues and values using classical realism methods and superior oil painting techniques. The competition’s purpose is to “promote cultural exchange and the art of figure painting that portrays pure truth, pure compassion, and pure beauty,” according to its website. The competition stipulated that contestants must submit oil paintings that include a depiction of the human form. The artworks must be created by traditional, classical, realistic,Boddingtons Technical Plastics provide a complete plastic injection moulding service including design， and academic methods.
Fred Ross, founder of ArtRenewal.org, made an appearance in support of the competition. In his speech to artists and attendees, he championed the cause of reviving traditional realism.
“We are bearing witness here at this great competition, that the fine arts of painting, drawing and sculpture, are returning to their rightful place … And to affirm that fine art is only at its best when using the vocabulary and grammar of Realism,” Ross said, noting that the vocabulary of realism are the objects of the real world, which are readily understandable to everyone. To use common vocabulary is to enable art to communicate and “do what the art imposters of Modernism and Post Modernism are unable to do: capture,Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems, display and express the ideas, thoughts and emotions of mankind with poetry, beauty and grace.”
His daughter and director of operations at Art Renewal, Kara Lysandra Ross, frames the contemporary realistic movement as a form of backlash against modernist and post-modernist hegemony. “People are getting tired of seeing things that are not recognizable and being told that if they don’t enjoy it, that they simply aren’t conceptual enough,” she said. “Modern art is taking our voice; we must communicate through language that we can recognize.”
