Four new exhibitions to see at Guangdong Museum of Art

In March 2025, the Guangdong Museum of Art welcomed the grand opening of four new painting exhibitions which will open up a profound dialogue across color, space, and the soul for you.

"Revelation – The Wings of the Soul: Liu Dongfeng Art Exhibition" focuses on Liu Dongfeng's major works from 2024, covering his various reflections on nature, the universe, time, and the cycle of life.

The works not only showcase his explorations in the fields of color theory and abstract art, but also navigate between rationality and sensibility. They are both a continuation of traditional philosophical thinking and an experiment in contemporary art.

The exhibition "Traces of Mind: Paintings by Ye Xianmin" presents the exquisite works of Ye Xianmin, a distinguished contemporary Chinese watercolor painter. Divided into four thematic sections, the exhibition includes watercolors and oils created over his decades-long career. It showcases how Ye incorporates the techniques of traditional Chinese ink painting into watercolor and oil, which is precisely the persistent exploration and pursuit that Ye Xianmin has been committed to for over 50 years in his artistic career.
