Chengdu Art Museum

At the entrance of the noisy Kuanzhai alley, there is a large quiet house. The bright gingko leaves set off the three in and three out dwellings in Western Sichuan. Many artists are often gathered here. There are art exhibitions in the old house. There are two plaques on the gate of this beautiful and noble house - "Chengdu Art Academy" and "Chengdu Art Museum".

Chengdu painting academy is the first public Modern Painting Academy established in Sichuan Province. It was founded in 1980. It is a cultural institution that focuses on the creation and research of painting art and carries out related academic activities. In 2010, the brand of "Chengdu Art Museum" was added here, and the exhibition room was reconstructed according to the standards of Public Art Museum. Today, the Chengdu Art Museum, located in the old courtyard of Chengdu Academy of painting, is open for public welfare for more than 300 days every year, holding no less than 15 exhibitions and more than 12 public education activities. Although the exhibition line of the exhibition hall is only 180 meters, it has become an important art exhibition place in Chengdu with its high exhibition quality.

The existing building of Chengdu Academy of painting is in the early 1980s. The former Jing'an Hotel (the former Shaanxi guild hall) located in shujiao street and the Ye family ancestral hall near Hongxing Road were relocated and rebuilt here. The overall style is the residential style of southern Sichuan in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, covering an area of 2238.54 square meters and a construction area of 1744 square meters. It is the largest and most intact building in kuanzhaixiangzi area. In 2007, it was awarded the seventh batch of provincial cultural relics protection units. The architecture of Chengdu painting academy is basically axial symmetry. The three entrance courtyard and the lush ancient ginkgo trees are set off each other, and are integrated with strong cultural heritage. As a provincial cultural protection unit, the reconstruction of the exhibition hall of the art museum is an internal addition, which does not damage the building itself, and retains the hybrid architecture of the bucket and beam. Since its opening in 1982, it has been an artist's studio for a long time, and many excellent works have been produced here.

From the beginning of its establishment, Chengdu painting academy has shown an open mind. Among the first batch of full-time artists were not only national painters, but also oil painters and printmakers, which was rare in the national painting academy system at that time. The traditional Chinese painters of Chengdu Academy of painting not only study Huang's tradition, but also start from the college system, but they are more eclectic. They promote the development of Chinese painting art in their own creation, and have made great achievements in national exhibitions. In the field of Western painting, from Su style realism, to local art, to contemporary art, the artistic exploration of Chengdu painting academy has never left the context of the times. Today, Chengdu Academy of painting has formed a talent team with a comprehensive framework of traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, multimedia and theoretical research, which is rare in today's National Academy of painting system. The pluralistic and inclusive atmosphere of Chengdu Academy of painting has made it an important name card of Chengdu culture, which has great influence in Sichuan art circles and even in the national art circles.

Chengdu painting academy has gathered a number of artists as consultants and painters throughout the country. In the field of traditional Chinese painting, Zhu Peijun, the first president, continued the tradition of Huang's fine brushwork painting. Yao Simin, Gao Xiaodi, Jiang Rong and Li Qingke, who represented her, won awards in many national competitions. In addition, Shen Daohong, he Jidu, Zhang Youju, Xia Liangxi, ye Ruikun, Wei Mingyang, Liu Deyang and Wen Yongsheng, who are good at freehand brushwork, are also influential in China. Among the young and middle-aged painters, Cai yinkun, Li Hui, Xiang Yang, Liu Haitao, Zhong Shimin, Zeng Zhen, Lu Zhen and Zhu Di have won many awards at national and provincial exhibitions. In the field of Western painting, since the 1980s, a group of artists such as Zhou Chunya and he duoling have entered the international contemporary art exhibition system and gained international reputation. Wan Qiren, Yuan Jizhong, Jian Chongmin, Hu Renqiao, Su Cong, Gu Zhiyong, Huang Runsheng, Li Meng, Gu Xiaoyan, etc. show the art pioneer spirit of Chengdu painting academy from their unique aesthetic perspective. With the development of traditional Chinese painting and oil painting, Chengdu Academy of painting has not ignored the era of art. It recruited Chen Qiulin, a multimedia artist with international influence, to explore the contemporary performance of art.
