Looking back at realism

The China Realism Five Years Retrospective Exhibition is being held at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing until next Tuesday.

Formed in 2005 by a group of realistic oil painters including the late famous artist Chen Yifei (1946-2005), China Realism is a mainstream school of Chinese oil painting. The exhibition presents the works of 30 artists much sought-after by the art market, including Ai Xuan, Yang Feiyun, and the late Chen.

The China Realism school believes that realism has long-lasting value and respects traditional culture, while advocating sincere artistic expression.
