The group exhibition <i>A New Fine Line<\/i>, on view at Metropolitan State University of Denver\u2019s Center for Visual Art, considers the legacy of thegongbi brush style in a contemporary context. Curator Julie Segraves and creative director Cecily Cullen assembled artworks by nine Chinese artists who employ the gongbi style, a method of ink painting on silk or paper that reaches as far back as the Tang dynasty (618\u2013906 CE). The gongbi brush line is more like a pen line than calligraphic. It is uniformly thick, even wiry, defining boundaries around figures and objects. The medium was the matchmaker between the artists included in this exhibition, but their works are generous with other meanings, from Mao\u2019s utopia and China\u2019s unrelenting economic growth and development, to reflections of the classic gongbi style and subject matter.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/245487\/contemporary-takes-on-chinas-oldest-painting-technique\/\">Contemporary Takes on China\u2019s Oldest Painting Technique<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hyperallergic: DENVER \u2014 Do viewers outside of China still expect contemporary Chinese art to \u201clook\u201d Chinese, and what does that even mean?
