 GANG SU\nOpening May 15\, 2024 7-9pm\nMay 15 – June 6\, 2024\nLipont Gal
 lery once again teams up with Vancouver-based artist Jiangang Su to hold
  a Chinese painting and calligraphy exhibition in summer 2024\, providing 
 audiences and collectors in the Greater Vancouver area with an opportunity
  to learn and collect traditional Chinese art works.\n"Stone" is an import
 ant aesthetic object in Chinese traditional culture. Taihu stone is a st
 one with unique beauty. It is the beauty created by the uncanny workmanshi
 p of nature and contains the curious feelings of literati. The phenomenon 
 of appreciation of strange stones existed in the Wei\, Jin\, Southern and 
 Northern Dynasties\, and the appreciation of strange stones reached a new 
 climax in the Song Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.) To this day\, stone appreciatio
 n has always held an irreplaceable place in the hearts of literati.\nSeein
 g the Mountains is based on the theme of scholars admiring stones\, and th
 e method of construction brush and ink is expressed in the form of tea sc
 rolls hangings to create an elegant atmosphere in the study room. The cal
 ligraphy content of the exhibition includes simple and square official scr
 ipt and exquisite and elegant fan-shaped regular script\, which is full of
  the feelings of Jiangnan literati.\nJiangang Su is an artist of classic
 al Chinese painting and calligraphy based on Vancouver. He is known for hi
 s gongbi style paintings\, versatile styles of calligraphy and seal carv
 ing. He studied in China under renowned maestro Yan Gongda from the age of
  thirteen. Besides being a dedicated artist\, Su is also an avid art educa
 tor and collector of Chinese arts. His artworks have been featured in nume
 rous exhibitions\, charity auction events and media coverage in China and
