Soka Art Center is hosting “By the Tide” which is the second exhibition by Sheng Meibing in Beijing after the large-scale exhibition at the National Museum in 2013. The exhibition will be on view through July 29, 2018. The works displayed shows Sheng Meibing’s development in art right from the early 1990s through the present. As the gallery writes, “Sheng Meibing’s works are full of ‘vivid artistic conception of literati’ for his rich knowledge of culture of southeast China, he shows the depth of thought and unique temperament of a modern lieratus with oil paints and canvas.” Based in Jinling (now known as Nanjing), Sheng Meibing works are influenced by the traditional Ming dynasty where there is a leisurely, lively and elegant representation in ornaments and a symbolic gesture of pursuit of harmony of nature and humanity woven into window lattices, stones, ink, plaques, carpentries, tea and liquor.“There is also a perfect Ming study in Sheng Meibing’s mind, which is through ancient and modern, mobile and style-freed: it could be indoor or outdoor, there could be gentlemen and farmers, small bridges and industrial ports, all of these scenes in his ‘study’ flow out from his brushes onto the canvas lively, even flowers must be put into vase with fish pattern from Cizhou kiln for aesthetic,” says the gallery.Absorbed by the flowing temperament of the nature, Sheng Meibing seems one of the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty, according to the gallery. The title “By The Tide” suggests this flowing temperament of observing the tranquility of the tide by the riverside regardless of it coming or going. This exhibition is on view through July 29, 2018, at Soka Art Center, 8502 Mailbox 100015, 798 Art District, No. 2 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100015.
