The Exhibition at the Zhangjiagang City Art Museum
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The exhibition “Engraving Brilliance – The Charm of Water in Jiangsu: Woodcut Prints of a Hundred Yangtze Sceneries” is currently being showcased at the Zhangjiagang City Art Museum.

The exhibition offers a rich cultural and artistic showcase of Jiangsu’s section of the Yangtze River through the distinct medium of water print woodcut, which preserves the essence of traditional Jiangsu culture. Organized by the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism’s initiative, “The Charm of Water in Jiangsu: A Hundred Sceneries of the Yangtze River,” it features 100 iconic landscapes.

Theme of the Exhibition

These scenes reflect the natural ecology, historical heritage, revolutionary history, and modern developments from eight cities along the Yangtze in Jiangsu—Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Nantong. Over 50 notable print artists were invited from across the country to form groups, travel the river, and create works inspired by their experiences.

Artistic Techniques at the Exhibition

Using the waterprint woodcut technique, a medium with strong Eastern and Jiangsu-specific characteristics, the artists combined their visual impressions of the region’s changing landscape and culture through their brushes and carving tools. The result is 100 exceptional works that merge aesthetics with emotion, breathing new life into the Yangtze River theme while highlighting the distinct appeal of Jiangsu’s traditional art form in the modern era.

The exhibition is predominantly blue, featuring water patterns, lines, color blocks, and gradients, and divides the 100 works into eight sections named after the eight cities. This arrangement not only emphasizes the regional cultural uniqueness but also paints a vibrant cultural portrait of the Jiangsu Yangtze area. Moreover, each section serves as a window into the distinct characteristics and rich meanings of different regions, exploring themes of “natural ecology, historical culture, red heritage, and modern development.”

In addition to the prints, some of the original wooden boards used by the artists during the creative process are also on display, giving visitors insight into the craftsmanship behind the works. The exhibition will run until November 10th.
