From the majesty of the Rocky Mountains and the magnificence of the Grand Canyon, to the beauty of Huangshan and the vastness of the Yangtze River, these iconic world-class natural formations carry forth the pride of nations and the imprimatur of civilization itself.

Intercultural exchange takes shape among Chinese and American artists - each side drawing upon rich artistic and intellectual traditions of their own right. By painting en plein air and immersive studies of the land itself, such traditions come alive as they are expressed in full.

The first exhibition launches in San Francisco. The second shall be held in Nanjing the following year.

Perspectives are simultaneously deeply personal and private, whilst stoking and evoking the spirit of the landscapes that store human history. Please join us for an exploration and exaltation that Bridges the Boundless.

中美两国拥有广袤无垠的国土与壮美秀丽的自然风光，从美国落基山脉的雄浑磅礴、大峡谷的壮阔奇绝，到中国黄山的灵秀奇诡、长江的浩荡奔涌，这些承载着文明密码的自然胜景，已然成为连接两国民心的天然纽带。
 为进一步深化中美艺术的交流对话，积极构建“各美其美，美美与共”的艺术交流范式，中美艺术家联合开展画中美名胜风景暨展览系列活动，计划首展在美国旧金山启动，次年在中国南京开展。以期借助艺术家们独特的视角与精妙的笔墨语言，将自然景观转化为文化互鉴的艺术作品，让两国观众于丹青妙笔间增进彼此了解，共同谱写新时代中美民间文化交流的华美乐章 。
