The Art of Foreign Countries | Tang Qishan's Travels to Multinational Art Museums

Guangzhou Art Fair's partner artist, Tang Qishan, has works in the collections of Chinese and European collectors.

Tang Qishan has devoted himself to the creation of mixed-materials art for many years, and he perfectly blends modern composition with oriental aesthetics, making his unique

artistic symbols unforgettable.

Tang Qishan has travelled in many European and Asian countries, including Russia, France, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, etc.

During his travels, he has notonly observed traditional paintings and sculptures like those in the Louvre, but also paid close attention to local contemporary art works.

Recently, he set off on another journey to visit art galleries and museums in many countries, and gained a lot from his keen eye on the unique contemporary artworks of each

country.

Follow in the footsteps of Tang Qishan as he travels around the art world and experiences the beauty of art together.

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art, which has several pavilions in Moscow and is directed by a distinguished Russian painter and sculptor, Zurab Tsereteli, who is in his nineties, specialises in 20th and 21st Century art,reflecting the development of avantgarde art. This time, we visited each oftheir three museums and talked to Ms Sue Podgornaya, a staff member of one of the museums.

Talking to Mr Petr, an artist at Art Empire in Moscow, it was refreshing to see Peter express his concepts and ideas with its very interesting figurines.

Kazakhstan

National Gallery of Kazakhstan

The artworks of the National Museum of Kazakhstan are mainly in the form of canvas paintings, plus some mixed media works, the works are bright and vibrant, and there are many war-themed works, but the colors are bright and not oppressive.

Personally, I feel that the shortcomings are, firstly, the form of the works is slightly simple, and secondly, some paintings and some mixed material works are slightly rough.

The artworks displayed at the National Gallery of Malaysia include both paintings and installations, some of which are mostly presented on war/protest themes, and most of the colors are gray and oppressive, hideous and bloody, giving people a dark, violent and terrifying feeling as a whole.

Immersing yourself in this kind of work can easily cause people to be shocked. This kind of shock, which is uncomfortable, also provokes people to think. This kind of work fully embodies the repression and suffocation of the artists of this nation under oppression, and also expresses the indomitable and fighting spirit of the artists.

Another part of the canvas paintings and graffiti works are influenced by Europe and the United States, and the colors of the works are bright and bold.

There are also some woodblock prints on display here, with delicate depictions of characters and scenes, and most of the prints are relatively large.

The most surprising thing is the appearance of several works engraved on stainless steel plates, which are refreshing to engrave animals on stainless steel plates.
