Artist frames the spirit of combating outbreak
His representative sculpture Golden Bridge on Silk Road based on the broad narrative of the Belt and Road Initiative has been exhibited at many international events, including the first Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in 2017, and Expo 2017 Astana in Kazakhstan.
According to Jiang Yingchun, general manager of Poly Culture, "Shu's works usually combine elements of China's political, economic, social and media landscape, and vividly reflect the development process of the country."
The painting is one of a series Shu is creating to pay tribute to those who have made great contributions to fighting against the disease, especially those who work on the front line, like doctors and nurses.
Since Jan 26, Shu has spent a dozen hours every day searching for inspiration in changes to the epidemic situation and creating a painting, he says. His paintings record touching stories and his own thoughts during the epidemic period.
