The “Exhibition of Members’ Artworks of Yu Un Chinese Calligraphers and Painters Association of Macao 2021” features a total of 177 pieces (sets) of Chinese traditional paintings, calligraphies and seal carvings. Chinese traditional paintings in different genres and various forms will be exhibited, including demonstrative splashed-ink landscape paintings, expressive bird-and-flower paintings, lifelike ink wash portraits, and exquisite and emotive landscape paintings of Macao. Meanwhile, this exhibition showcases the members’ mastery of various script types such as Xing (semi-cursive script), Zhuan (seal script), Kai (regular script), Li (clerical script) and Cao (cursive script), as well as poetry and literature, presenting the unique beauty of calligraphy. Hundreds of thousands of images are condensed into the small space of seal carvings, showing the members’ accomplishments in calligraphy, the art of composition, and the technique of using knives. The brilliant exhibition aims to fully demonstrate the creativity and artistic skills of exhibiting members, and enable visitors to understand the recent development of Chinese painting, calligraphy and seal carving in Macao.
