Visiting the *Yan Zhi Lu* Exhibition

Exhibition Name: *Yan Zhi Lu* — Zhang Yu's Ink Painting Exhibition of Elegant Ladies Venue: CITIC Square, 3rd Floor Public Transportation: Nanjing West Road Station (Lines 2, 12, and 13) Tickets: Free admission, no reservation required Exhibition Recommendation: Zhang Yu's ink paintings of elegant ladies have a unique style. Her brushstrokes are bold and powerful, outlining clear and vivid images of women with just a few strokes. At the same time, her ink wash technique is exquisite, creating a beautiful and magical realm through appropriate shades of ink. The ladies in the paintings seem to emerge from a dream, with ethereal postures and lively charm, appearing both real and illusory. Whispers in the Mist: I saw Zhang Yu's solo exhibition *Sabo into a Dream* in 2023. The sensory experience was dreamlike, with faint sounds of opera and a sense of reincarnation. Now, looking at *Yan Zhi Lu*, I feel that the "she" in the works is even lighter. The soft beauty and elegance, like mist and smoke, are too exquisite for this world.
