The Artist Chen Ping

 

The conference poster is showing a painting of Chen Ping, an artist born in China in 1962 and living and working in Hobart, Tasmania. Artist Chen Ping seeks to expose and return to the beginning of cultural values by re-examining the relationship between people, their environment and animals by discussing through his artistic practice three main themes, time, space and existence. For more information regarding the artist as well as his current exhibitions please click here.

The paintings

 

This body of ink paintings is based on the ancient set of poems, Nine Song, written by Qu Yuan in the 3rd Century. Nine Songs is considered to be the Chinese equivalent of  Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri.

 

The poems, and the works, are prayers for humanity through heaven and earth, and the final chapter is a prayer for the National Martyr, with the works bringing in current events and tragedies.
