Description

Folk Expressionism: The Art Collection of Wang Fumin presents a vivid visual journey into Shehuo—one of China’s most vibrant and enduring folk traditions. Renowned artist Wang Fumin captures the festival’s dynamic spirit through bold colors, expressive brushwork, and finely detailed compositions that merge classical guohua techniques with modern artistic language.

Through scenes of dragon dances, lion dances, stilt performances, and folk rituals, Wang reveals not only the visual splendor of Shehuo but also its deeper cultural narratives—community identity, collective memory, humor, vitality, and the enduring ideals embedded in everyday life.

This volume serves as both an art album and a cultural document, offering valuable insight for readers interested in Chinese folk culture, festival studies, and contemporary interpretations of traditional art.
