A magnificent and telescopic view of landscape artist’s exhibition

Zhou Shifeng has been committed to creating the mountain and water genre of classic Chinese painting. Zhou blends the varying landscapes of North and South China to form a distinctive pictorial view of his own. His work features the feeling of dense moisture with the rosy glows of southern scenery and, at the same time, presents the clear-cut, masculine structures of the northern mountains.

Instant Inspiration on Landscape, an exhibition being held until June 29 at the National Art Museum of China, shows dozens of Zhou's paintings. It's a celebration of the country's long-standing ink tradition and Zhou's exploration with rendering the tradition in a modern sense.
