Spanish expression
Different Cycles from Different Eras United by a Single Paintbrush, an exhibition currently running at Shenzhen Art Museum in Guangdong province, brings together 118 paintings produced by Spanish expressionist Jorge Rando since the 1960s. They are from the dozen series he has created over the past five decades, revisiting themes such as a mother's love, nature, landscapes, butterflies and cycling, to name a few.
In his long career, Rando has formed a semifigurative and semiabstract painting style to express his brushes with nature and others, and his belief that art can unite people and nations. In 2015, a museum named after him was opened in Malaga, the city of his birth.
In 2019, Rando's works were shown in Hunan and Sichuan provinces. The current exhibition in Shenzhen runs until May 26.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 32 Donghu Yijie, inside Donghu Park, Aiguo Lu, Luohu district, Shenzhen, Guangdong province. 0755-2542-6069.
Poetic narratives
He Duoling is best known for several paintings he made in the 1980s, such as The Awakening Spring Breeze and Snow Goose. Imbued with subtle sorrow and a feeling of distance, his work kept evolving, while he eschewed the limelight. Non-Narrative, an exhibition at Hubei Museum of Art, brings He, and his art, back into the general public consciousness. It compares the works that brought him fame and his more recent output. He has tried to move away from the distinctive style of painting that made him famous, and explores a new approach, showing a greater sense of ease and a sometimes playful mood.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 68 Huangli Lu, Wuchang district, Wuhan, Hubei province. 027-8679-6062.
