“Fare Ware My Concubine”, a famous Chinese traditional drama, at the end of which, Shitou cried out “Jizi”out of control, … she finally fulfill Donzi’s wishes, accomplishing the drama of life. However, who committed suicide, Yuji or Donzi? Moreover, is life a drama, or is drama a life? Today, on 11th Aug, 2007, SHUN Art & Design Gallery honourly invited Professor Wang Zhanxin from National academy of Chinese Theatre Arts to Shanghai, where she will first hold her theatre arts oil painting show. What makes her works distinguished from others is that Wang Zhanxin take the advantage of her position in order bring us a glance at the backstage. Professor Wang Zhanxin entered National academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in 1993. It was difficult to me at that time to understand the beauty hidden in theatre arts, since the limitation of appreciation of the beauty. 10 years after when I went back to my easel and started painting composing, I found that those art features and culture of deep Chinese tradition in the Chinese theatre arts vibrate in my memory profoundly like pure spring. Bright, unique, exquisite, refined and elegant, the form of that art is always in my mind. Her paintings composed in a unique angle of view have already collected by National academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, Institution of Chinese Arts Research and many collectors domestic and overseas such as from US and Spain. She also has been interviewed by CCTV several times. The most featured paintings by Wang Zhanxin, “Waiting at backstage No. 15” was awarded the silver prize of “Sino-Korean painting arts communication exhibtion”.In these days, Chinese culture and fashion is becoming world popular. The film “Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon” was the black horse in 73th Oscar. The fashion brand “Shanghai Tang” has become the top one of Chinese traditional dress brand. Now in art field, as the quintessence of Chinese culture, the Jing opera has led the new trend in Chinese fashion. We can currently see that there are many oil paintings focusing on Jing Opera. However, most of them stand upon front stage and make player on stage prominent, but neglect life down stage. Stroke of Wang Zhanxin is strangely unreal rather than clearly drawing the outline of the fully posted up players’ posture. From 2005, Wang zhanxin started composing the series of “Moments on Backstage”. With the special angle of view, her works has gone beyond the original meaning of Chinese traditional theatre arts, but through these works to express the philosophy of “a life is a stage”. After unloading the untruthful mask, which one is the “individual” in real life? Just like the interchange between performance and real life, some one may concentrate on the former so deeply that he/she could not return to his/her life again.Humans, lives, like a drama. A changing moment between real and fake can be seen in those painting of Wang Zhanxin.
