“Meeting with Lotus”: A Unique Artistic Experience at Tsunshang Elementary School

Tsunshang Elementary School’s Lotus Pond Gallery is set to be the center of artistic attention with the upcoming exhibition by Zheng Fenlan, titled “Meeting with Lotus.” Running from August 30 to December 31, 2023, this exhibition promises to offer a unique blend of traditional artistry and modern technique.

Zheng Fenlan, known for her innovative use of diverse media, has created a series of oil and flow paintings for this exhibition. What makes her work stand out is the incorporation of materials like gold leaf, silver leaf, straw, soil, and sand. This not only adds depth and texture to her paintings but also evokes a profound sense of nostalgia and connection to one’s roots.

The exhibition aims to do more than just display art; it seeks to enhance the aesthetic literacy of the school’s teachers and students. Through “Meeting with Lotus,” the school hopes to integrate aesthetic education into daily life, allowing the school community to experience an artistic feast that embodies truth, goodness, and beauty.

The use of varied materials in Zheng Fenlan’s artwork creates a rhythmic representation of the lotus pond, offering viewers a multi-sensory experience. This exhibition is a significant step towards bringing aesthetic education to the forefront in our school curriculum.

“Meeting with Lotus” is not just an exhibition; it’s a bridge between art and education, aiming to inspire and educate. The school invites everyone to step into this artistic world and explore the beauty and depth of Zheng Fenlan’s art.

For those interested, the Lotus Pond Gallery will welcome visitors from August 30, offering a unique opportunity to dive into the world of art as envisioned by Zheng Fenlan.
