This exhibition showcases a new cycle of works that takes on the time-honored subject of Eight Views of Xiaoxiang.

Offering an allegorically rich structure of eight vistas of Dongting Lake, located between modern-day Hunan and Hubei provinces, the genre has been a favorite among artists and poets since the Song Dynasty, including Dong Yuan (934-962 CE), Mu Xi (d. 1281 CE), and Wen Zhengming (1470-1559 CE). Hao Liang depicts this charged subject in eight large (190 x 400 cm) compositions, using each image to explore the dramatic sublime of China’s contemporary ecological landscape.
