HAIKOU /China/, August 22. /TASS/. A Russian-Chinese art exhibition, titled Colors of Friendship, opened in south China’s province of Hainan on Saturday. This is one of the largest joint art events between China and Russia in the island’s history, the Hainan International Media Center (HIMC) said.
According to it, the exhibition, being hosted by the Asian Watercolor Art Museum in Haikou, the region’s capital city, runs through August 28. The project was organized by the Hainan International Cultural Exchange Center with the aim of promoting cultural-humanitarian cooperation between China and Russia in line with the Belt and Road Initiative.
The exhibition marks the 30th anniversary of the Chinese-Russian strategic partnership alongside the 25th anniversary of the Treaty on Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between China and Russia as it also reflects the agenda of the official cross years of education (2026-2027) between the two countries, the HIMC said. The exhibition gives a “unique insight” into modern art of Russia and China, the HIMC added. The project that brings together 16 artists highlights the authentic materiality of painting, the art of visual narration and the phenomenology of light. In it, the academic tradition “adapts to acquire a new meaning in realities of the 21st century.”
