Tennis star Wu Yibing promotes Chinese art at US Open
China DailyThe X Museum art medallion worn by Chinese tennis star Wu Yibing at the 2022 US Open features Chinese ink painter Xu Lei’s The Variations of Chalk Cliffs of Ruegen. The art medallion transforms Wu’s jersey into a moving canvas, showcasing the beauty and power of Chinese art to a global audience at an international sports event, Huang added. Xu Lei’s work jumped to mind when I was thinking about this collaboration because his work not only fuses tradition and modernity but also is imbued with ancient Chinese philosophy,” Huang said, adding that contemporary Chinese art of this kind serves as a great entry point to engage an international audience. “Although sports differ from art, one moving and the other usually static, they both bring great pleasure to the eye and the mind,” said Xu Lei, who is pleased to see his painting made into a miniature on Wu’s sportswear to accompany him in his impressive runs at the US Open.
