Sculpture Exhibition

We have gone to an exhibition with Ms. Hadley on November. The title of the exhibition is Wu Weishan Cultural Figures Sculpture Gallery of Nanjing Museum. The kind of this exhibition is sculpture exhibition. The whole artworks were all made by one artist, Wu Weishan. I think this artwork is like traditional but also is contemporary.

In the exhibition, we looked for a lot of nice artworks. I find an artwork and I think that is very interesting. This artwork’s title is “Lin Sanzhi Walking and Chanting”. Wu weishan is the artist of this artwork. This artwork was made in 1993. This artwork’s shape is very clear and it is an old man. The lines of the artwork are the streamline form. The color is brown and has a little bit of yellow. The artwork’s texture is rough but has a little bit of smooth. This artwork’s subject is an old man holding a walking stick and opening his mouth small. I see the man is bareheaded and I find he is bending his brows slightly. He wears a long coat and one and one of his hand is in his coat’s pocket. His left hand holds a thin walking stick and he walks on the street and seems to say something. By the way, this artwork is made out of copper.

When I see the “Lin Sanzhi Walking and Chanting”, it makes me feel lonesome because the man is walking on the street alone. I think that the outside is very cold because the man’s right hand is in his pocket and he is bends his brows slightly. The artwork reminds me of another thing that I have seen. Last winter, I was walking on the street and I saw an old man held a walking stick and wanted to cross the road, and then I ran to the old man and helped him to cross the road. I think the artwork in very attracts my vision and makes me remind a lot of things. I think the artwork is very vivid and the artist wants to make us feel a little bit antiquity about this artwork.

I like this artwork. Although this artwork makes me feel a little bit heavy, I think it is a successful artwork. I think the artist made this man very vivid and it almost like a real man. His face is very true to life, I almost can see the wrinkles on his face. The man’s coat is very big and long, the coat’s creases are very realistic and not rigid. His feet are walking and his mouth is speaking. I like the artwork very much.
I think the other people will also appreciate this artwork because this artwork is very vivid to see and the old man’s appearance is absolutely lifelike.

In the end, some of my classmates and I were very lucky because Wu Weishan was went to there. He is very kind and polite and we take a photo of all our members.
