“Brush With Nature” -
Chinese Brush paintings by the Oriental Brush Artists Guild.
The Oriental Brush Artists Guild, an organization of over fifty painters primarily from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, will hold its annual Spring Exhibit, “Brush with Nature”, at the Hammond Museum in North Salem, N. Y. This juried show, which will run from April 16th through June 18th, will feature paintings by over twenty artists illustrating both traditional and modern brush painting techniques.
Traditional Chinese painting is rooted in the Zen-like tranquility of nature. Creating the art is a serene discipline and those who attempt it find a great source of peace and accomplishment. The paintings that seem so free and effortless, however, represent hours spent practicing individual brush strokes. It is the perfection of each such stroke, combined with the artist’s insight and feeling for the subject that produces a beautiful painting. “Traditional Chinese painting is rooted in the Zen-like tranquility of nature.
