A Chinese ink painting exhibition titled “Red” is captivating visitors at the Usera Municipal Council Exhibition Hall in Madrid. Running from January 28 to February 28, the exhibition showcases 23 vibrant Chinese New Year folk paintings by renowned artist Yue Yu.
Yue Yu, a distinguished painter from Xi’an and director of the Institute of Religious Fine Arts at Northwest University in China, has themed the exhibition around the color red. His works vividly capture the festive spirit and rich traditions of the Chinese New Year, bringing a burst of color and culture to the Spanish capital.
