The exhibition follows Chen Shi Jin’s pursuit in conveying the grandeur and spirit of mountains and flowing water, through decades-long innovations in the blue-green (qinglu 青綠) tradition of landscape painting.

"Through Rain and Night" foregrounds rain and night — subjects rarely explored in Chinese ink painting. Chen has spent decades working out how to render these elusive conditions: the scattered glow of fishing boats at night, wind-driven rain sweeping across Guizhou terraces, the particular haziness that falls between darkness and light. The result is a body of work that goes well beyond technique, weaving rhythm and feeling into every brushstroke.

Chen Shi Jin presents offers a rare exploration of moonlit and rainy landscapes rendered in traditional Chinese ink.

In June, the gallery will begin rolling out a series of themed exhibitions, featuring a richer and more curated selection of works.
