Ink artist's landscape painting bridging tradition and modernity

China Daily  

Ink painter Lyu Cuixia's new landscape paintings show her recent progress in the genre of ink tradition. When Lyu Cuixia joined veteran artist Lu Yushun's studio at the China National Academy of Painting years ago, she was already a skilled landscape painter adept at capturing natural marvels and personal sentiments, as noted by Lu. At Lyu's current exhibition at the Art News of China gallery, visitors witness her artistic growth — stepping beyond her familiar techniques to modernize compositions and explore innovative approaches to color and form. Lyu's artistic experiments not only reflect her dedication to preserving the essence of the northern school of Chinese landscape painting, known for its rugged landscapes of North China, but also her aspiration to incorporate the elegance and fluidity characteristic of the southern school.
