Cui Ruzhuo’s exhibition provides context for another conversation about art with children.

This time we’re asking a question: what do we know about China and its art? A personal show of a notable Chinese artist who combines meditative tradition with contemporary expression is a great pretext to have this talk.

We believe children of all ages will enjoy it. And so it doesn’t turn into a boring lecture we’re going to have fun too! What kind of fun - let’s keep it a secret for now.
Certainly, we’re going to do a walkabout through the exhibition of Cui Ruzhuo to illustrate a few of his typical mannerisms, take note of his connection with tradition and see the poetics of the mundane, something seen in the works of a Russian landscape painter Ivan Shishkin.

However, contemplative cosmism and Chinese eloquence are very different from the traditional Russian realism.
