Shriya NevatiaChinese Painting Exhibition
November 12th 2006 11:00
Until December 23 Burrinja Gallery Upwey is exhibiting the work of Chinese artist Chen Yongqiang. This flower and bird painter has created a contemporary feel to Buddhist painting, ‘Black & White Cat’ could be from five hundred years ago or it could be a portrait of your local house moggie. I can’t help feeling that ‘Red Gladioli’ could also appeal to the Australian sense of humour through Dame Edna.
The Chinese ink painting alongside some of the Burrinja Collection - Oceanic and Indigenous art and artifacts - creates a harmonious relationship. The former council offices which have been reinvented to a contemporary arts hub cannot help but hum with tradition.
