Shanghai’s Museum of Art Pudong is set to unveil a landmark retrospective celebrating the work of Chen Yifei, a visionary artist renowned for blending cinematic realism with haunting nostalgia. Ahead of the exhibition’s public opening, four rarely seen oil paintings were previewed, offering insight into Chen’s enduring legacy as one of the Chinese mainland’s most influential modern artists.
The showcase highlights Chen’s ability to weave emotional depth into vivid landscapes and figures, capturing moments suspended between memory and modernity. His works have long resonated globally, bridging Eastern artistic traditions with Western techniques—a fusion reflecting Shanghai’s own cultural dynamism. The exhibition is expected to attract art enthusiasts, scholars, and diaspora communities seeking to reconnect with China’s contemporary art evolution.
