Chen Xiangbo's Fine-Brush Paintings Show for Ringing The Year of Pony features more tha forty fine-brush paintings. Centered on two major thematic series — "The Twenty-Four Solar Terms" and "The Twelve Zodiac Animals" — and complemented by his signature blue lotus works, the exhibition unfolds as a visual dialogue between movement and stillness, fleeting moments and enduring presence. It seeks to capture and distill the profound traces of time’s passage, offering viewers an artistic conversation that bridges traditional cultural heritage with contemporary thought.

In the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" series, the cyclical changes of the seasons and natural phenomena are condensed into harmonious circular forms, where birds, flowers, and living creatures merge seamlessly with seasonal atmospheres. This perfectly embodies the traditional Chinese philosophy of unity between heaven and humanity, and the cyclical balance of nature. Meanwhile, the "Twelve Zodiac Animals" series — developed over many years — uses fine-brush technique as its foundation and infuses it with the charm of freehand brushwork. Within precise forms, lively strokes bring vitality, vividly expressing the wondrous relationship between individual life forms and the endless flow of time.
