On November 1, Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) professor Wang Chuan’s solo exhibition " Re-creation the Classic of Mountains and Seas" opened at Hubei Museum of Art. The exhibition features more than 40 works created over the past three years, including lenticular lightboxes and reinterpretations of classical paintings. Inspired by the ancient Chinese text Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas), the artist integrates photography and Chinese classical masterpieces, blending media such as painting, photography, and lenticular lightboxes. Through this fusion, Wang brings distant traditions and history into modern social reality, presenting a visually immersive experience that is both realistic and illusory. The exhibition is curated by Ji Shaofeng, director of Hubei Museum of Art.
