An important art show kicked off at the Chinese Art Palace on July 13. The national exhibition showcases outstanding artistic pieces. A watercolor painting titled “Hainan Impression” by JI senior Yuqing Ying was selected into the exhibition.
Departing from the traditional watercolor style, Ying’s artwork combines realism and impressionism. On her inspiration of the painting, Ying says: “I just wanted to create a realistic depiction of my Hainan impression. While I was struggling with the layout, I recalled the abstract design I had learned from my Computer Architecture Design course: the structure of each part is neat, clear, and seamlessly linked as a whole. Therefore, I utilized the split and merge technique cleverly to demonstrate the soft forms of the plants.
Yuqing Ying is graduating from JI with the major of Electrical and Computer Science. She has been integrating engineering ideas into her paintings and has set a perfect model of science and art combination. She has created many unique pieces and outshone other traditional artists.
This art exhibition is cosponsored by Shanghai Association of Literature and Arts, Shanghai Cultural Broadcasting Bureau, and Shanghai Artists Association. Among 1300 entries, 350 pieces have been selected and will go on for national review. This exhibition demonstrates the vibrant Shanghai art scene as well as presents the creative young artists.
