This exhibition is not only a grand artistic event but also a celebration of cultural heritage and resonance.The Fang Jiong Art Space, named after the renowned painter Fang Jiong, is located on the sixth floor of the Student Learning and Activity Center at Wenzhou-Kean University. The establishment of this art hall aims to express gratitude for Mr. Fang Jiong's strong support for the university and to honor his dedication to education and public welfare. It will regularly host a variety of academic activities, including art exhibitions, lectures, and seminars.
At the event, you will have the opportunity to view the masterpieces of Mr. Fang’s mentor, Fang Jiekan, his father, Fang Ziyan, and Fang Jiong himself. These works not only showcase their profound artistic achievements but also reflect the richness and deep allure of Chinese culture and civilization. At the same time, the exhibition will showcase exquisite paintings and calligraphy from over ten renowned contemporary Chinese artists collected by Mr. Fang Jiong. These precious artworks will provide you with a dual enjoyment for both the eyes and the soul.
