The exhibition convenes contemporary artists, urban/rural art educators, and child artists to work collectively to reveal how 'I' becomes 'Me.'

Legacy Through Time: Xu Bei Hong
As a pivotal figure in China's modern artistic transformation, Xu Beihong's artistic practice consistently embodied an academic logic of 'reaching breadth while achieving precision.' From epic thematic creation to allegorical image reconstruction, from innovation in brush and ink language to breakthrough in artistic conception, he pioneered a modern grammatical system fusing Chinese and Western art. The exhibition examines three historical segments of Xu Beihong's life. Through an intertextual narrative combining 73 representative works and extensive documentation, it deeply decodes the contemporary generative mechanism of his 'saving the nation through art' ideology and 'realism' methodology.
