The School of Painting expresses its desire for the blossoming of new life after the three-year pandemic, through paintings on "New Life in the Garden".
The graduates of the School of Painting have experienced a three-year pandemic, witnessed historical events and century-long upheavals, and observed the capriciousness of the world while adapting to a life of constant flux.
Yet, the School of Painting remains steadfast in its belief in the value of painting, rejecting the vulgarization of art and a linear view of history. We uphold painting as the bedrock of grand historical narratives, the daily renewal of great epochs, and the essence of art. Painting is a tool, a concrete and effective means of liberating individuals from their state of immaturity.
