2024 marks the first decade since the establishment of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen). As a multicultural and diverse institution, CUHK-Shenzhen has strived to combine tradition with modernity and to bring together China and the West over the past ten years. The Library presents the Art Infinity exhibition, showcasing artworks from both Chinese and Western masters, as well as modern Chinese young artists. The exhibition revolves around the cultural exchanges since the opening of the Silk Road, depicted through artistic paintings that embody the fusion of tradition and modernity, as well as the integration of Chinese and Western influences. This exhibition immerses viewers in the assimilation and integration of multiculturalism from the Southern Song Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. It reflects the blending of different ethnic cultures within Chinese art, showcasing the aesthetic tastes of the Chinese nation and expressions of social consciousness and emotions during that period. The entry of Eastern crafts into the Western world marked the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. From the 15th to the 18th century, Eastern artistic characteristics gradually merged into the creations of Western artists. In the 20th century, China faced wars, territorial upheaval, and challenging living conditions. Many intellectuals sought broader perspectives and advanced ideas through studying abroad in the West, particularly in France, where the socialist movement influenced the paths of Chinese students. These talented young artists collaborated with Western painting masters, exploring the boundaries of art through Impressionism, Cubism, and modern art. Upon returning to China, they made significant contributions to the establishment and innovation of contemporary Chinese art, profoundly influencing its development. Some argue that sensibility originates from the East, while rationality comes from the West. When Western artists integrate rational painting with the sensibility of Eastern art, while Eastern artists absorb Western rational thinking in their expressive depictions, the two cultural arts blend and create a more diverse and rich artistic expression. This cross-cultural fusion is evident in the Library of CUHK-Shenzhen, which serves as an academic and cultural hub, witnessing the institution's growth over the past decade. The Library provides abundant resources and fosters cultural exchange and academic innovation. In the years ahead, the Library will continue to play a significant role, contributing to the university's educational and cultural development. This fusion and collaboration promote cultural and artistic prosperity, embodying the mission of CUHK-Shenzhen as an institution that integrates Chinese and Western cultures, providing students with a comprehensive and cross-cultural platform for development and exchange.
