Taihang Xinyu Art Museum / Wang Chong Studio

In the south Taihang Mountain near to Shibanyan Town, Linzhou, Anyang , Henan Province, driving along the road beside the stream, the upright cliffs, chopped with knives and axes, rush towards us. In Guo Xi's painting theory "Linquan gaozhi", there is a saying in the landscape training, "Taihang rests on China, and the face is Lin Lu", here it can be said that the appearance is responsible. Shibanyan Town is located in the Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area. In recent years, it has been promoted to the most important sketching base in the north with the positioning of "Chinese Painting Valley". It is based on the background of the revitalization of rural cultural tourism that an iconic art gallery is planned to be built in the entrance to the town. In order to avoid the inefficient development brought about by the check and balance of interests, rights and power, a tripartite cooperation model of government artist social capital is practiced here. The art museum supported by the policy provides aesthetic education and cultural benefits for the public, and erects a building for Linzhou. It is a cultural brand; it also provides a living room for cultural exchanges for the artist Meng Xinyu, who has painted the beautiful scenery of Taihang for a long time; it also provides cultural tourism income for local investors to maintain the operation of cultural facilities. The shaping of multiple values brings sustainable longterm development.
