The largest scale Tibet theme picture show, ‘The Spirit of Tibet— Red White and Black Series of Jing Tingyao’ opened on November 16 in China Art Gallery in Beijing, capital of China.
The show selects 60 pieces of Jing’s works created from 1995 to 2007 , which unveils Tibet’s long history, unsophisticated folk customs and spectacular holy mountains and lakes on the snowland plateau. It seems that Jing Tingyao painted all these works with his unique taste and passion. All the Tibetan features, beautiful natural landscapes and people images are well laid off.
There are two turning points in Jing’s over 40-year art career. He used to focus on figures, birds and flowers in 1980s to early 1990s. As a soldier, he entered Tibet for the first time in 1985, which changed his drawing theme and style ever since. From then on, an innovated drawing language and form have been developed and finalized as the second turning point at the beginning of the 21st century.
