Han Meilin's artistic world emphasizes innovation while valuing tradition. The term "cross-border" cannot summarize Han Meilin's vast artistic world. What supports this artistic world is the great mind of this contemporary art master, who is "inclusive and inclusive". He not only inherits the excellent cultural heritage of his own nation, but also transcends regional limitations and cultural barriers, achieving "mutual learning" and "mutual growth" in equal dialogue. The world of Meilin not only reflects the artist's comprehensive creativity and unique cultural holism, but also reflects Han Meilin's pursuit of individual spiritual perfection and full affirmation of the ideal world of truth, goodness, and beauty.

This exhibition revolves around four major sections: "Heaven", "Earth", "Man", and "Harmony". It combines Han Meilin's creations in different categories such as painting, calligraphy, bronze, iron art, ceramics, purple clay, wood carving, dyeing and weaving, with other forms of presentation such as manuscripts and new media videos, comprehensively, systematically, and comprehensively showcasing Han Meilin's diverse creative landscape. Through these vivid, lively, colorful, and optimistic works, we lead the audience into the world of Merrill Lynch.

Four unit explanations:

Heaven

Han Meilin expressed his reverence and intoxication for Chinese characters by writing the "Heavenly Book", and successfully crossed the old barriers of traditional calligraphy and contemporary art with the help of the pictograms and meanings of Chinese characters. He traces back to the primitive script of ancient times and also involves graphic symbols in folk culture, using "heavenly script" to guide us back to the "original intention" of writing: calligraphy is the understanding, recording, and expression of all things. "The Book of Heaven" not only displays the original memory of a civilization, but also reveals its infinite power in the future.

land

In Han Meilin's mind, all things in the world are life elves between heaven and earth, and the expression of passion for life has become the internal driving force of his creation. "Animals" is an important theme in Han Meilin's artistic creation, reflecting his optimistic and optimistic attitude towards the essence of life. His animal painting style is based on a large amount of accumulation in real life, wandering in his own imagination and embodying the self characteristics of "combination of abstraction and imagery" and "coexistence of virtual and real images" inherited from ancient rock painting art. The free and unrestrained brushstrokes, upright ink blocks, and colorful colors are the best annotations for artists to learn both Chinese and Western cultures, and to be inclusive and reserved.

people

Han Meilin's body paintings and sculptures are important components of his artistic diversity, as well as the fruitful fruit of his blending of Western forms and Eastern poetry. He effortlessly highlighted the most beautiful expression of human body structure, forming rich and varied shapes, showcasing soft and emotional curves, full of the rhythm of life and poetic imagery. These works have smooth and dynamic lines that express emotions and rhythms, succinctly and vividly portraying the dynamic moments in motion as the ultimate ideal. This is a leap beyond natural beauty and also a passionate writing of Eastern romanticism.

Harmony

"Harmony" is Han Meilin's unique craftsmanship that harmonizes artistic beauty with life beauty, and it is also a manifestation of Han Meilin's ability to integrate and transform different material technologies. Purple clay, ceramics, engraving, dyeing and weaving, wood carving, and so on have all become areas where Han Meilin showcases her artistic talents. Han Meilin brings the spirit of modern culture to traditional crafts, and his pursuit of formal meaning and minimalist design is a development direction that goes hand in hand with contemporary aesthetic concepts. He innovatively transformed the visual concepts of flat language and rural customs into modern three-dimensional language and the reconstruction of large-scale spaces, conveying historical and ethnic cultural themes in everyday objects, and conveying the concept of beauty in a relaxed and concise atmosphere.
