Xi'an holds exhibition on protection of cultural relics

The Treasures of China – Cultural Relics Protection Series: Yu Go's Super Realistic Oil Painting Exhibition has opened at the Xi'an Chanba Silk Road International Culture and Art Center and will run until March 15 with free admission.

The exhibition integrates the preservation of cultural relics with contemporary oil painting, creating a visual feast of academic value, artistic appeal, and profound cultural heritage.

The works on display are created by Yu Go, a post-90s artist, and feature his meticulously crafted, super-realistic oil paintings of cultural relics from the past three years, focusing on Chinese treasures scattered overseas. With delicate brushwork, Yu revives these millennia-old cultural relics on canvas, paying tribute to this splendid civilization and safeguarding Chinese cultural lineage through artistic language. These works boast extremely high artistic standards and profound cultural value.

According to Jin Gang, the exhibition's curator, this event brings together the finest works by Yu Go, aiming to immerse the audience in the appreciation of oil painting while further raising awareness of cultural relic protection, fostering cultural confidence, and enabling the stories behind these relics to truly resonate.
