Lang Chengwen: Jiangnan Beauties — A Lyrical Ode to Life and Form
View through Artsy
Under the soft light of Jiangnan’s canals, Lang Chengwen’s maidens appear poised yet alive. Their world draws on centuries of imagery shaping the region’s cultural memory. Rooted in China’s ink tradition, Lang blends the grace of classical figure painting with the colour sensibilities of Ming and Qing woodcuts, replacing fragility with living energy. Contemporary aesthetics interwoven with timeless brushwork create an idealized Jiangnan where past and present meet.
