: New Expressions of Fashion Design In Art Museums | "Fashion 100" Exhibition Is Coming to An End

2026-04-19

China Artists Association "Youth Art Talent Program": Fashion 100, since its opening, five successful fashion shows have been staged at the CAFA Art Museum. The grand finale show (special session by faculty members of Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology) will follow at 16:00 on April 19.Bringing the Fashion 100 shows to the CAFA Art Museum has not only integrated static and dynamic presentation formats typical of fashion design, but also employed high-definition LED screens to continuously play 3D runway videos of virtual AI-generated models. These echo the winding and varied circulation of the exhibition space where real fashion models walk, creating a uniquely shaped catwalk tailored to the museum’s distinctive aesthetic field. Virtual and real, screen and live performance overlap and complement each other. Audiences are deeply immersed in the experience: as models pass by, they vividly perceive the youthful vitality of the performers, the immersive allure of fashion, the lightness and structure of fabrics, and the exquisite and distinctive craftsmanship.The Fashion 100 shows held at CAFAM organically combine rigorous academic research with dynamic fashion trends, cross-disciplinary experimentation in fashion design with profound cultural heritage. Meanwhile, they extensively integrate high technology with traditional craftsmanship. Two examples are shared below:Jiang Xi’s Lacquer Layered Delights bag series innovatively transforms traditional lacquerware techniques from daily utensils into apparel and bag design. It not only continues the sophisticated textures and unique surfaces of China’s long-revered and influential traditional lacquer craft, but also inspires and expands the boundless possibilities for widely adapting outstanding ethnic traditions from other cross-disciplinary fields in the fashion industry. Xie Mengdi’s Rising Wind and Surging Water fashion collection is designed based on the distinctly Eastern aesthetic of traditional Chinese cross-cut pattern making. Supported by 3D modeling technology, it digitizes, infinitely replicates, and renders multi-dimensionally the traditionally flat-cut construction, realizing a sustainable ecological vision that integrates traditional Chinese costume aesthetics with new technology. Zhang Yidi’s Traces of Wind · Grottoes series fashionably reinterprets the time-honored Chinese grotto culture through textured expressions using ramie fabric and paper art with ethnic characteristics. Zhang Yan’s Pastoral collection transforms ethnic minority materials and aesthetics into contemporary urban garments. Other remarkable works include Wei Qinwen’s Between Lines series, Cheng Zhilu’s Evolving Forms series, Xiong Yi’s Mountains · Whispers series, and Liu Qiwen’s New Adornments of Intangible Cultural Heritage series, all of which are highly noteworthy.The Fashion 100 runway shows at CAFAM differ from the prevailing trends of luxury, niche positioning, haute couture and marketing-driven scarcity in the international fashion industry. Instead, they place greater emphasis on academic confidence and industrial responsibility, as well as on culturally expressive design empowered by technology and the concept of sustainable ecological design. Although the 100 participating young designers feature diverse styles and distinct creative visions, their works generally follow a shared trend: rooted in Eastern aesthetics, drawing on global fashion currents, and grounded in China’s profound cultural traditions. The language and temperament of their creations highlight the contemporary expression of their national cultural roots, integrating the characteristics of Eastern aesthetics with new trends in contemporary fashion.The presentation of "Fashion 100" is not only a reflection of the current academic research status and future development potential of 100 young designers in China's fashion industry, but also a new expression of China's cultural soft power and the strength of Chinese youth in the new century.∕China Artists Association "Youth Art Talent Program"IN — The First Fashion 100 Achievement Exhibition & Runway SeriesExhibition Dates: March 22 – April 19, 2026Venue: Hall on the 1st Floor / Gallery B on the 3rd Floor, CAFA Art Museum Chief Editor / He YishaExecutive Editor / Du YinzhuContributor / Hong Mei

: On April 18th, Two Grand "Fashion 100" Shows Were Staged On Time At CAFA Art Museum!

2026-04-17

C A F A M∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝ ∝The concluding exhibition of the inaugural Fashion 100 project, part of the "Young Art Talent Program" by the China Artists Association, is drawing to a close at the CAFA Art Museum. Every piece represents young designers’ profound response to Eastern philosophy within a futuristic context. Here, you can encounter the Rising Wind and Flowing Qi series, which draws on China’s perspective of the body and captures the flow of internal energy; you can touch Material Bones·Flower Skeleton, crafted from fully 3D-printed flexible fabrics that embody sustainable growth through a "programmable skeleton"; you can also experience bodily memories and optical illusions left by the passage of time in the dynamic installation and metal burned foil of Afterimages of Virtual and Reality, and admire the interplay of lightness and order in Stitches Across the Oceans. From the Square and Circle World, which transforms gentle mountain landscapes into hand-made tassels and warm mother-of-pearl, to the broad-minded work that expresses the philosophy that "imperfection is perfection" through the weathered textures of millennia-old grottoes, and the Within a Square Inch series that translates the Taoist thought of "the six directions of heaven and earth" into positive-negative spatial tailoring—all these works take the exploration of creative origin as their core, deeply root themselves in traditional Chinese aesthetics, engage with cutting-edge international trends with an open vision, and exquisitely interweave Eastern connotations with avant-garde expressions.The "Fashion 100" series of fashion shows will be held at Hall B on the 3rd floor of CAFA Art Museum at 14:00 and 16:00 on Saturday, April 18 respectively.The event will offer 80 seats for museum visitors at each session.Visitors who wish to attend may register separately for their preferred time slot via the QR code below.After the runway shows on the third floor, a flash mob fashion show will continue in the lobby on the first floor of the art museum at around 16:30.

: Li Xingjian: The Key To Mastering Chinese Painting Is To Lay A Solid Foundation

2026-04-15

At the exhibition "No Smooth Paths To The Summit – Donated Works by Li Xingjian", the audience is invariably captivated by the magnificent, profound and lushly beautiful landscape paintings created by Li Xingjian. Faced with such a pinnacle of art, one cannot help but wonder: where exactly did this journey of artistic ascent begin?The answer lies in his plain and unadorned academic philosophy. Li Xingjian is not only an accomplished painter but also an art educator who has devoted himself to teaching for years. In his essay The Key Is to Lay a Solid Foundation, he sets aside the glory of his creative achievements and points directly to the core essence of learning Chinese painting. Drawing from his own artistic practice and the teachings of Mr. Li Keran, he clearly lays out the "steps" to mastery without reservation: he advocates taking sketch training as the scientific foundation for modeling and thinking; emphasizes exploring the profound tradition through copying without being confined to rigid formulas; points out that sketching from life is the only way to "learn from nature" and develop a personal artistic language; and further promotes the principle of "selecting one and refining it tenfold" in creation, advocating relentless refinement and perfection. The key Is To Lay A Solid Foundation Li XingjianMarch 2003≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒I. I advocate learning sketching≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒Sketching is the foundation of all plastic arts, which goes without saying for departments such as oil painting, printmaking and sculpture. However, there has been considerable disagreement over the years as to whether the Chinese Painting Department should take sketching as the basis of modeling. During my school years (1958-1963), students in the Chinese Painting Department did not study sketching, but later the department began to offer sketching courses to improve students' modeling abilities."The Joyful Old Farmer" by Li Xingjian, 1972, pencil on paper, 26×19 cm, collected by CAFA Art MuseumMr. Li Keran strongly advocated that students of traditional Chinese painting should lay a solid foundation in sketch. His artistic practice has proved that profound basic sketch skills provided favorable conditions for his innovative development of Chinese landscape painting. He said more than once: "If possible, I would study sketch for another ten years."Teaching sketching is not merely a training in painting skills, but also a scientific training in thinking. It helps students develop a keen ability to observe and capture the subtle characteristics of subjects; to depict objects with precision; and to achieve "refinement in detail and breadth in vision"—the ability to delve deeply into details while maintaining a grasp of the whole. All these can only be attained through long-term and rigorous sketching training.Sketch of a Boy Wearing a Straw Hat, Li Xingjian, 1958, Ink on paper, 33×22 cm, Collection of CAFA Art Museum≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒II. Learning from Tradition is Indispensable≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒The art of any nation develops and innovates continuously on the basis of inheriting its traditions. China's distinguished painting tradition is like an ever-flowing river.Copying classes are a vital part of learning tradition. Ancient artists advocated "studying all the famous masterpieces under heaven". In the teaching of copying, students should be arranged to appreciate, research and analyze the works of past masters as extensively as possible. This can broaden their vision and deepen their perceptual understanding of traditional Chinese painting. Meanwhile, selected traditional painting theories should also be explained and analyzed to enhance students' comprehension of traditional Chinese painting.Green Shade and Waterfall, Li Xingjian, 1972, colored ink on paper, 69×46 cm, collected by CAFA Art MuseumA copying class is by no means merely about learning specific techniques and stylistic symbols such as the texture strokes and outline methods of any particular school or master. Instead, it focuses on understanding the common principles in the modeling characteristics and brush-and-ink expression techniques of past artists. One should absorb their strengths while also recognizing their limitations. A copying class is a crucial lesson in learning from the experience of others, including ancient masters."Fresh Green", Li Xingjian, 1977, color on paper, 47.5×46 cm, collected by CAFA Art Museum≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒III. Sketching from life is the only way to develop tradition≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒"Learning from nature"—taking nature as one's teacher—is a fine tradition of Chinese painting. Only through careful and in-depth study of the endless changes in nature can one discover principles that others have not found. Sketching classes train students to go into nature, to remain calm, focused, and patient, and to discover beauty in ordinary scenes. Sketching is a process of creating from life.In Front of the Seven Star Cave, Li Xingjian, 1962, ink painting on paper, 17.8×12.3 cm, collected by CAFA Art MuseumWhen sketching from life, you must trust your eyes and your own feelings, and express your true thoughts. A sketching class should not be about verifying or copying others' formulas and methods, nor should it fall into the stereotypes of predecessors. The most important thing in a sketching class is to create your own artistic language.Nature is the best teacher for students. Faced with the infinitely rich and ever‑changing nature, we will always be ignorant young learners. Therefore, we must devote ourselves wholeheartedly, ponder deeply, and perceive profoundly, so that we can make discoveries and create. Only in this way can we develop correct ways of observation and a rigorous academic attitude through sketching classes. Continuously drawing nourishment from nature and cultivating good habits constitutes a precious treasure for students.In Front of the Residence by Li Xingjian, 1972, pen and ink on paper, 17×24 cm, collected by CAFA Art Museum≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒IV. Creative writing courses are designed to cultivate students' ability to process and refine their works≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒ ≒Sketching from life is creation directly from the scene. However, due to various limitations, the materials derived from real life cannot be fully refined and processed to achieve a higher artistic level.Ordinary Scenes of Bashanshushui, by Li Xingjian, 1985, colored ink on paper, 96×58 cm, collected by CAFA Art MuseumCreative writing courses focus on artistic conception design, and in particular, teach students more practical methods in terms of artistic conception refinement. Mr. Li Keran once proposed that for the raw materials obtained from sketching, one should "extract one and refine it tenfold" and conduct more extensive artistic processing.In conclusion, I believe that a student's learning process is one of deepening their understanding of the laws of learning and laying a solid foundation. As teachers, we should guide them in the right direction in accordance with the teaching syllabus, and continuously enrich and enhance their artistic accomplishment. This is achieved through a systematic teaching approach of "copying—sketching from life—creating", involving repeated practice, constant summarization, and progressive improvement, so as to leave ample room for their future development. This is beneficial not only to the individual growth of students but also to the development of China's fine arts cause.Site of the Hunan Peasant Movement, Li Xingjian, 1978, pen on paper, 29.9×27.2 cm, collected by CAFA Art Museum Concurrent exhibitions Chief Editor / He YishaExecutive Editor / Du YinzhuEditor / Zhang Ni

: Call for Proposals Countdown | Phase V “Wide-Angle ° Youth Experimental Project Space” Submission Deadline Approaching

2026-04-07

Wide-Angle ° Youth Experimental Project SpaceCentral Academy of Fine Arts Young Faculty Seed ProgramSupport ProjectOrganized byArt Museum, Central Academy of Fine ArtsFaculty Affairs Office (Human Resources Department), Central Academy of Fine ArtsFaculty Development Center, Central Academy of Fine ArtsThe Wide-Angle ° Youth Experimental Project Space serves as an experimental platform for young CAFA faculty to present their curatorial practices and creative works. Through diverse exhibition projects, it aims to support and encourage young faculty and students to actively engage with interdisciplinary collaboration, regional cultural research, and traditional Chinese culture.Jointly organized by the CAFA Art Museum, the Faculty Affairs Office (Human Resources Department), and the Faculty Development Center of Central Academy of Fine Arts, the project invites young teachers to propose and implement experimental exhibition programs. Over the past two years, Wide-Angle ° has completed four rounds of open calls and selections, with a total of 22 exhibition proposals selected.Group Photo of Selected Projects Representatives and Guests Wide‑Angle ° Phase IIIReview Session of Exhibition ProposalsWide‑Angle ° Youth Experimental Project Space, Phase IVThe name “Wide‑Angle °” carries two meanings. First, it echoes “Acute Angle”, another curatorial development program located in another public space on the ground floor of the Art Museum. It connects the two spaces within the museum through young curatorial practice, presenting the academy’s latest achievements in curatorial education and practice to the public.Second, it corresponds to the expanding intellectual breadth demonstrated by young faculty in their creation and teaching. Among the selected projects in the first four phases, many have expanded cross‑media practice, creative methodologies, and approaches to art education.In the Art Museum’s future development plan and the Faculty Affairs Office’s Young Faculty Seed Program, Wide‑Angle ° will serve as a starting point. It will extend along two paths: art education within the academy and dissemination of public art education to society. It will demonstrate the dialogue between youth and the contemporary context, activate connections between young people and traditional culture, and inspire encounters between youth and broader possibilities. We look forward to young CAFA faculty presenting their talent and creativity here through individual or group proposals.This project is open to all young faculty members of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Two types of proposals are solicited, covering exhibition curation and artistic creation.
