At the opening ceremony, Ms. Shang Boying, Deputy District Mayor of Longgang District People’s Government of Shenzhen Municipality, said that it was a great honor to hold the Erste Internationale Biennale zur Präsentation chinesischer Ölmalerei aus Dafen at Bostchaft der Volksrepublik China in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. As the “third pole” of Shenzhen’s eastern core area and future development, Longgang district is making every effort to build “cultural highland”, focusing on improving the cultural industry development from hardware and software. Known as the “First Village of China’s Oil Painting”, Dafen Oil Painting Village is a cultural industry card of Shenzhen City and one of China’s first batch of national cultural industry demonstration bases. It is also the largest commodity oil painting production and trading base in China, and an important global transaction hub for oil painting around the world. In recent years, Dafen Oil Painting Village is also taking the road of transformation and upgrading, supporting original works, creating art exhibition brands, and establishing a complete original art industry chain. It has become a vivid practice and a successful story for cultural industry upgrading in Longgang District. On this occasion, I hope that art exchanges and cultural integration between China and Germany will be promoted. In addition, Ms. Shang Boying, Deputy District Mayor, invited the guests to participate in the “Dafen International Painting Exhibition Biennale” held in October in Longgang District, Shenzhen.
Ms Anna Grete Hanson, the Speaker of German parliament of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin made a speech that I was very pleased that Dafen oil paintings were exhibited in Germany. As we all know, the cultural, educational, economic, scientific and technological institutions and art groups in China and Germany have carried out various forms of cooperation to deepen mutual understanding between the Chinese and German people with a contribution to cultural exchanges between two countries. We could further strengthen cooperation and promote the development of friendship between Germany and China.
Shenzhen, the pioneer city of reform and opening-up, has become an influential international city and created a number of China’s first, and Dafen oil painting village is one of them. At present, Dafen has become the leading demonstration zone for the development of China’s cultural industry, the representative foundation of Guangdong Province’s art tribal cluster as well as one of top ten characteristic cultural blocks in Shenzhen.
In recent years, Dafen’s original strength has flourished. On the basis of the successful holding of “National Dafen Youth Oil Painting Exhibition”, Dafen has heavily launched the “Dafen International Painting Exhibition Biennale”, which is another international high-end art exhibition brand in cooperation between Longgang District and Chinese Artists Association. Before May 30, the organizing committee has collected 2,651 famous painters’ works which are from nearly 65 countries and regions including China, the United States, Germany, France, and Russia. The organizing committee will finally select 280 works through preliminary evaluation and re-evaluation, which will be exhibited in Longgang District, Shenzhen in October, 2018. At that time, art institutions and artists from all over the world will focus on Shenzhen, focus on Longgang, and focus on Dafen. This is also a sound opportunity for artists from all over the world to go into Dafen, know Longgang, and know Shenzhen.
The theme of the first Dafen International Painting Exhibition Biennale is “Opening-up and Integration”. The exhibition works will be from the influential artists of five continents. As an international high-end exhibition focusing on academic and artistic feature, it aims to make artists at home and abroad influence and promote each other through the collision of creativity, individuality, concept and consciousness so as to achieve the goal of harmonious coexistence, multi-integration and mutual benefits. The Dafen International Painting Exhibition Biennale is held to blend the cultural essences of the world with an open attitude, deepen the thinking and enhance sense of participation of various countries and nations to this era and show diversity of culture in order to make Dafen become a platform and a window for the mutual understanding between China and the world.
