Crouching tigers and serene beauty

Exhibition of traditional Chinese painting at Bengal Gallery

Fayza Haq
Hoping to have some study of traditional Chinese paintings, one has only to stop at Bengal Gallery of Fine Arts. Here are watercolours of traditional Chinese paintings with magnificent study of lions and tigers at repose and action. They have been created on paper and silk with ink and water. This is done freehand style.
In Wang Cun li's powerful concentration one finds a gorgeous tiger, carefully aiming and perhaps getting ready to jump for its prey. The tiger is seen on the banks of a rivulet, sheltered by trees and hills. Much of this painting of tigers comes from burial sites and tombs. These have inscriptions of messages to the soul's way to paradise. Writings of Confucius are also included. Daily life scenes are also included.
Some critics take landscapes, in which the tigers are included, to be one of the finest forms of landscapes. The watercolour images in "Five happy tigers and cubs coming to.geihej" are,a superb effort. One really feels the thrill and contentment of success in the manner of the gazes and the opening of the teeth of the first cub to the left.
More cuddles and kisses in a happy coming together scene is included in Wang Jina huis' ’’The happiness of Tiger family" More scenes of rest, repose and occasional glancing are
found in perfect white water colour.
If wanted more distractions on the sides of the mountains and rivers one has only to sea "Roaring in heroic style" where the monkeys are chatting, reposing and thinking. A few yew leaves have been included in a subtle and careful way. "Long roaring" by Wang Chun li's picture bring superb presentation of a growling lion with a wolf sniffing very near at hand. Cherry trees have not been left out. More inspections of scenes are presented in lyrical form in "Inspecting", with the open jaw, fangs, swishing tail and all.
More powerful presentations of stalking tigers, growling, and glancing back are there for all to see and examine. Interesting scenes such as these are there in "Crouching tiger in gold autumns", where one finds the animals in perfect harmony.
Cute details of a bouncing kitten, with a flying, passing, flower and all are included in one scene. Fishes, flowers, fins and gills have been included in, a,n u n cfc^ajex^c ep e.
( urn r Aupcrb si ones u! deep concentration are "seen in th’e lion's eyes, resting on a branch of a tree. Even the twigs and butterflies have not been left out in the cover of the exhibition's brochure.
Such a detailed study in watercolour is surely nonpareil.
the exhibition continues till August 19.
