Ning Chen Presents Ink Painting Exhibition in Sydney During Year of the Horse
Artist Ning Chen, who works with traditional Chinese brush and ink techniques, is presenting an exhibition titled 'NING: TRANQUILITY' at Rochfort Gallery in Sydney. The show runs from March 4 to April 17, 2026, coinciding with the Lunar Year of the Horse. Chen, originally from Shanghai and now based in Melbourne, creates anthropomorphic animal imagery, particularly equine subjects. The exhibition features recent paintings that blend classical ink aesthetics with contemporary approaches, emphasizing color, line, and spatial relationships rather than direct narrative. The works encourage viewer engagement through emotional and associative responses.
