Since its establishment in 2019, the Zhao Wenliang& Yang Yushu Art Center has continued to present the results of research on the works and documents of Zhao Wenliang and Yang Yushu through exhibitions and publishing projects. The four exhibitions held so far, Solace from Nature, The Crescent and the Full, The Envelope of Hidden Paintings and Night Road, try to show Zhao Wenliang and Yang Yushu’s practice of landscape sketching from the 1950s to the 1980s from multiple facets. During a recent collation of the two men’s works, a set of pen sketches of Zhao Wenliang’s mother from 1980 to 1982 came into view unexpectedly, revealing a new clue to his work. In the process of viewing and revisiting Zhao Wenliang’s works from this perspective, we realize that this exhibition will be a necessary supplement to the study of Zhao Wenliang’s art. The exhibition  includes Zhao Wenliang’s landscape sketches from the 1960s when he returned to his hometown Fushun, his homesick paintings in the 1970s, his works created during his mother’s illness from 1980 to 1985, and his still life paintings from 1985 to 2015. In addition to the works, the exhibition also excerpts Zhao Wenliang’s self-statement of the works, part of the diary in 1981 and 1984, and our interview with Yang Yushu in June 2023, to show Zhao Wenliang’s thoughts on “mother” and “home” throughout his creative career. The exhibition lasts for a total of four months, and every two months is a unit. On the basis of maintaining the main works of the exhibition, different units will replace some works, so as to more comprehensively present the complete face of Zhao Wenliang’s creation of “mother” and enhance the new dialogue between works.
