Artist Han Meilin said in a video message: "The twelve-animal civilization is an important component of a traditional civilization with thousands of years of history. Everyone has their own zodiac animal—a mouse, an ox, a tiger, a rabbit, and an ugly son. This is the code to the enduring vitality of the Chinese nation and our precious cultural heritage. I created these animal works with deep love. I hope this exhibition will inspire people's reverence for our traditional civilization and build a bridge between artists and audiences."
In his video message, young artist Li Yugang stated that Mr. Han Meilin's works originate from tradition, are deeply rooted among the people, keep pace with the times, and align with contemporary trends. As the Year of the Tiger approaches, Li Yugang wished the Zodiac Art Exhibition great success and extended his New Year greetings to the audience in Hainan.
