Abstract
The article presents an analytical review of the exhibition of one of China's most prominent artists Wang Shenglie “Farmer's Hope”, held in October-November 2023 at the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang. The exhibition was dedicated to the master's centenary and caused a huge resonance in the Chinese art world, becoming one of the biggest events of China's cultural life in 2023. The author of the article examines the exhibition of Wang Shenglie's paintings in detail in order to introduce new materials into the scientific turnover and offer prospects for studying the work of this painter. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that Wang Shenglie's work is examined from the point of view of combining the ideas of Chinese traditional philosophy and painting, on the one hand, and European culture, on the other. The author uses the methods of interviewing, art history analysis, comparison and generalisation to reveal Wang Shenglie's contribution to the development of Chinese art.
