Chinese artist Cui Jingzhe opens solo exhibition in Italy

A solo exhibition titled Rosso Cina(China Red) by contemporary Chinese gongbi artist Cui Jingzhe opened on November 7, 2026 at the exhibition room of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Italy.

Gongbi, a traditional Chinese painting style, is characterized by fine brushwork, precise outlines and meticulous coloring. Cui draws on this centuries-old tradition while incorporating his own contemporary artistic expression.

This approach is reflected in the diverse works on display, which include his internationally acclaimed "China Red" series, freehand landscape paintings, porcelain and cultural creative products, showcasing the breadth of his artistic practice. Cui said that "China Red" represents more than just a color to him. It embodies Chinese people's aspirations for good fortune, celebrates life, and expresses their emotional connection to their homeland. He hopes that the exhibition will create a dialogue about art and civilizations with Italian audiences.

Marking Cui's first solo exhibition in Italy, the event runs through November 28. Admission is free and open to the public.
