Tie Yang, now aged 88, says he is a farmer and worker, rather than an artist. The painter hails from Zhaoxian county in Hebei province, and was trained as a designer of stage art at the Central Academy of Drama in the 1950s. His paintings of the vibrant colors and serenity of countryside life remind one of the slow pace of the past. His work offers a mental escape to anyone suffering from the anxiety and pressure of the urban hustle and bustle. Ode to the Way Home, an exhibition of Tie's art at the Tsinghua University Art Museum until Dec 10, introduces the audience to the world of animation and warmth he has created with his vigorous brushwork, a way of conveying his love of home and the countryside, and his concern for the people living there.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. Tsinghua University, Haidian district. 010-6278-1012
