Speaking in black-and-white
|
BORN near the Yangtze River, a region which abounds in rivers and lakes, Peng Benhao always portrays his hometown landscape with his black-and-white woodcuts.
He spent the first 19 years of his life -- he was born the same year as New China -- enthralled by the rivers and lakes. The earthy folk customs and the abundant cultural activities nurtured his creativity.
Peng places heavy emphasis on instinc and emotional experience, so his works are famous not as sharp portraits, but as expressions of the emotions stirred by the landscape. His passionate love for his hometown flow from every frame.
Fifty of his works, which are being displayed at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum from today until May 6, have been selected from among scores of his woodcuts. Although just a small portion of his portfolio, the exhibits reflect his style, which fuse grand scenery with human emotions.
