Exhibition reviews Zhong Xi’s print career

Cao Zhencaozhen0806@126.com

“Progression and Circulation,” a new exhibition featuring Shenzhen University professor Zhong Xi’s prints, ink paintings and ceramics, is being held at Guan Shanyue Art Museum.

The exhibition reviews the award-winning artist’s achieve-ments over the past 30 years. Zhong has also donated his 52 prints to the museum.

“‘Progression’ refers to Zhong’s creativity, transfor-mation and thoughts during his 30-year career. ‘Circulation’ refers to his application of Chi-nese calligraphy aesthetics [the tempo, shaping and harmony of strokes] into print-making,” said Chen Xiangbing, head of Shenzhen University’s Art Museum, who curated the exhibition.

At the opening of the exhibi-tion Tuesday, Zhong said many of his works were created casu-ally, without predetermined plans. He stressed that an artist should be sober and develop a

unique artistic language in his or her works.

Guan Shanyue Art Museum aims to turn this exhibition into an academic research on print art, so it is also exhibiting critics’ books and remarks on Zhong’s works. “The brightness and darkness, ups and downs in Zhong’s prints present a poetic world,” art professor Sun Zhen-hua wrote in his research article on Zhong.

“Print is the art of lines, dots, nets and lumps. Zhong’s abstract prints bring a new visual experience to viewers,” independent curator Ma Qin-zhong wrote in his review.Dates: Until April 6Venue: Guan Shanyue Art Museum, 6026 Hongli Road, Futian District (福田区红荔路6026号关山月美术馆)Metro: Line 3 or 4 to Children’s Palace Station (少年宫站), Exit B

Art Basel kicks off in HK

Chapterhouse Theater Com-pany will present English play “Jane Eyre,” the tale of a woman whose independence and brav-ery shaped her life.

Orphaned in childhood, Jane Eyre endures loss, poverty and a most bitter betrayal before fi nding the strength to follow her heart. Young governess Jane arrives at the mysteri-ous Thornfi eld Hall deep in the Yorkshire moors where she meets the enigmatic Mr. Rochester.

So begins this unforgettable love story. When a secret from the past returns to haunt them, can Jane and Rochester’s pas-

sion survive the forces that might tear them apart forever?

Chapterhouse’s adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s romantic epic is truncating the narrative without losing the power and purpose of the original novel. It avoids long conversations and monologues and takes us through the tale at a brisk pace without seeming overly hasty.

This version exhibits great clarity with excellent use of the small stage to depict such a vast tale. The costumes add to the authentic historical accuracy of the production. Amy Llewellyn’s Jane expounds all the feisty feminist thrusts that makes

Bronte’s character so remark-able and amiable, capturing all the inner turmoil and troubled worries with verve and veracity. Matthew Christmas’ Rochester is fi erce but not monstrous, severe but capable of gentle-ness, and develops a dynamic on-stage frisson with Jane.Time: 7:30 p.m., April 1Tickets: 80-360 yuanVenue: Shenzhen Children’s Palace, intersection of Hongli Road and Jintian Road, Futian District (福田区红荔路和金田路交汇处深圳少年宫)Metro: Line 3 or 4 to Children’s Palace Station (少年宫站), Exit B (SD News)
