"I Repair Cultural Relics at the Central Academy of Fine Arts": The First Undergraduate Graduation Works of the Restoration College Debut Stunningly | 1 Day Countdown to Graduation Season

2025-06-22

Under the lights, the exhibition hall is filled with tranquility. Frames of paintings that were once dim and mottled now radiate new brilliance; fragmented patterns on murals are ingeniously continued; ink marks blurred by time in Chinese paintings regain their vitality; and the dusty splendor on oil paintings is carefully awakened. After four years of dedicated study, the Restoration College finally welcomes its first batch of 21 undergraduate graduates. With ingenuity and skill, they present the first "graduation thesis" for the construction of the restoration discipline at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. These works may be immature, but they are imbued with the power to break through the soil, witnessing the footprints of young restorers and the fledgling college growing together.CAFA Graduation Season is coming to an end on June 22. Friends who haven't visited the exhibition yet, don't miss it!Mural Restoration StudioCAFAM@ 2025Eight graduates from the Mural Restoration Studio jointly completed the "A Glimpse of a Millennium — Replication of Mogao Grotto 285". Carved during the Datong period of the Western Wei Dynasty, Mogao Grotto 285 is the earliest grotto in the Dunhuang Grottoes with a confirmed excavation date. The main chamber is a bucket-shaped ceiling grotto with a square plane, a relatively large meditation grotto. Its architectural form directly originates from India, similar to the Ajanta Caves in India, belonging to the early form of meditation grottoes in Mogao Grottoes. The work is replicated at a scale of 1:0.7, currently 4.4 meters wide, 4.51 meters deep, with a wall height of 2.44 meters and a ceiling height of 3.37 meters. It adopts a wooden keel structure and traditional mud-based groundwork painting, divided into three sections: ⅠGroundwork Production: The east wall serves as a display area for the layered production of groundwork. ⅡCurrent-State Copying: The north and south walls, as well as the sloping ceiling, are copied in their current state, reproducing the mural's current condition with traditional techniques. Ⅲ Restorative Copying: The west wall is for restorative copying. Based on historical documents, image comparison, and combined with the principles of traditional mural painting, it restores the original appearance of the murals, constructing a complete grotto view in different areas to form a temporal section, intuitively comparing and displaying the mural states in different historical stages. On-site, traditional materials and tools are used to present the groundwork layer and painting layer. The production, copying process, and disease simulation of the groundwork are recorded through videos. Combined with imaging technology, the dynamic process from groundwork production to painting completion is presented outside the grotto, allowing viewers to deepen their understanding of traditional craftsmanship through physical touch with the artifacts.On-site Photo of the Restorative Copying on the Western WallOn-site Photo of the Current-State Copying on the Southern WallLin Yiming, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Southern WallWen Chen, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Southern WallLian Renjie, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Southern WallXu Erzhi, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Southern WallOn-site Photo of the Current-State Copying on the Northern WallLiu Shiming, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Northern WallMa Yue, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Northern WallHu Jing, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Northern WallWang Xueying, Detail of Current-State Copying on the Northern WallCurrent-State Copying of the Four-Slope Caisson CeilingChinese Painting Restoration StudioCAFAM@ 2025Strive for loftiness and seek brilliancePan Xingyu, Restoration Case of "Late Qing Scrolls"The Late Qing Scrolls are heavy-color meticulous figure paintings on silk, with three pieces currently extant. Each measures 20cm × 70cm. The works are privately collected, and the author is unknown. Before restoration, all three paintings showed damages such as loosening, stains, fractures, wrinkles, mildew, insect damage, and losses. For the painting cores, this restoration adopted traditional methods to flatten the surface, reinforce colors, clean stains, remove the old backing paper, patch new silk, and mount them as framed works after color matching, so as to present the original appearance to the greatest extent.Before RestorationDuring RestorationAfter RestorationLin Zhenghan, Restoration Case of Plum Blossom and Bamboo PaintingPlum Blossom and Bamboo Painting is a freehand flower-and-bird painting with colors on paper. The author, Chen Wenjin, also known as Yunjin, styled as Xianshang and titled as Xiaosheng, was a native of Haining, Zhejiang. He was a calligrapher and painter during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, serving as an official in Sichuan Prefecture. Specializing in flower painting under the influence of Chen Chun, he excelled in color application. This work is in private collection. Before restoration, the painting surface had numerous horizontal creases, with severe fractures at the crease positions, serious insect damage, and phenomena of paint layer detachment and hollowing. It had undergone multiple improper restorations previously. This restoration adopted traditional techniques for ancient calligraphy and painting to re-restore it, making the painting core and mounting layer return to flatness, removing old restoration traces, patching holes and tears, smoothing creases, and completing structural restoration. Then color matching was carried out to supplement the painting meaning completely. The original decoration format was removed, and a vertical scroll mounting style with two-color mounting was re-designed to maximize the reproduction of the original artistic effect and extend the lifespan of the work.Comparison Before and After Color MatchingComparison of Restoration Details Before and AfterComparison Before and After Restoration Zhang Yufeng, Restoration Case of Peacock Painting in Archaic BrushworkPeacock Painting in Archaic Brushwork has no definite author information, and its date can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. According to existing information and image observation, the painting has undergone at least one re-mounting and restoration, with multiple improper restorations and secondary damages occurring during the mounting process. The current preservation condition of the painting is poor: the overall picture appears dark brown, with severe curling and cracking; there are insect holes around the edges; large sections of pigments have fallen off. The painting as a whole has multiple paper creases and fractures, and the main body of the picture is contaminated by large ink stains. In many parts of the painting core, there are inappropriate paper patches that do not match the material or the artistic conception of the painting.Restoration ProcessBefore RestorationAfter RestorationOil Painting Restoration StudioCAFAM@ 2025Guo Yinglin, Restoration Case of Still Life, an Oil Painting on CanvasThis work is a sketch oil painting by Guo Yinglin, one of the first batch of Chinese artists to study in France, painted in 1956. Two still-life works of this series are currently extant, both privately collected by the artist's family. In 2022, they entrusted the Collection Department of the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts to carry out restoration. The support canvas of the work has aged, lost its elasticity, and has multiple penetrating scars; the pigment layer in the upper half of the picture has overall pulverized, with local warping and peeling conditions. The restoration goal is to restore the structural stability of each layer. It is necessary to comprehensively reinforce the pigment layer, restore the adhesion to the underlying painting ground, and complete the missing colors.The pigment layer of Guo Yinglin's oil painting Still Life has large-area pulverization and peeling, and has water-sensitive characteristics, requiring overall reinforcement. The restoration difficulties of this work are how to reinforce the loose, pulverized, and water-sensitive pigment layer; and what kind of temporary reinforcement material to choose can achieve good adaptability with subsequent operations such as overall back reinforcement and surface cleaning.修复前修复后韦启美 布面油画《女人体习作》修复案例此作品画布长期无内框支撑,棉质画布已无法支撑开裂的绘画层,需通过背面整体衬托的措施承担画布平面应力。但画布背面存在内容为作者名字的落款,需通过实验设计力求在结构稳定的同时最大程度保留文字信息的可读性。作者通过以下两点展开修复过程:一、加固颜料层、平整并衬托画布,解决作品颜料层碗状变形、画布平面变形的结构问题,通过衬托新的支撑材料承载平面结构力量,并绷于内框上使内部应力保持平衡。同时尽可能最大化保留背面手写字迹。2、画面表面清洁并填补颜料层缺失,以达到审美和谐和视觉可读。临时贴面加固不稳定的颜料层局部封护字迹并整体涂刷Beva371粘合剂加固加湿并压重,平整画布变形背面涂刷Beva371粘合剂,并绷上聚酯丝网蒸馏水清洗颜料层表面尘垢填补缺失的基底层修复后赵懿 Chas Russell 布面油画《Sitting Lady》修复案例《Sitting Lady》创作于1880年是一幅典型的新古典主义肖像画。画作存在多维度病害:支撑物呈现角波纹及内框印痕等平面变形,局部伴有裂口与破洞,其背面附着大量浮尘。画面基底层与颜料层存在局部缺失且边缘残留外框黏附的金漆。最为明显的是人物头部右侧光油层存在明显泛白现象。修复过程画布背面除菌吸尘(对比)裂口/破洞处临时贴面+压重平整裂口/破洞处支撑物使用Ph6.5的水性清洗试剂清理表面尘垢使用Ph6.5的水性清洗试剂清理表面尘垢修复前修复后These young people are both students and pathfinders. They "hold technology in one hand and inherit ancient methods in the other"—the interdisciplinary integration of art and technology shines as a distinctive trait of this new generation of restorers. From a cross-cultural perspective, they continuously raise reflections on the ethics of contemporary cultural heritage restoration. Behind each work lies a three-dimensional interpretation of the word "restoration": it is the physical mending, but more importantly, the reconstruction of historical logic; it is the inheritance of craftsmanship, and even more, the rebirth of cultural values.Reservation Channel2025 CAFA Graduation SeasonCAFAM@ 2025The online reservation and ticketing channel for the 2025 CAFA Graduation Season is now open.

Enter The Whimsical World Of Picture Books | Witness The Fantastic Narratives Of Graduates From The Central Academy Of Fine Arts

2025-06-11

The much-anticipated graduation works of the Picture Book Creation Studio are now on display in the Glass Exhibition Hall on the second floor of CAFA Art Museum. Taking books as the carrier, 16 graduates present a rich and wonderful whimsical world to the public through the form of page-turning reading.Stepping into the exhibition hall is like entering a magical forest: in the pupils of "that cat", you can see the warmth and loneliness in the corners of the city; while the silent dialogue between "the Snowman and the Little Seed" tells the story of exploration and hope for a better life. The cover marked "32nd of the 13th Month" has long broken free from the shackles of time, inviting you to step into a boundless whimsical universe. Do you see yourself in "Meow God"—clumsy yet striving with all your might? When the faint light shines from the "Forest Convenience Store", what meets the eye is the friendliness and mutual help among people. As for those "chattering non-stop" wonderful images, they depict a child's journey from self-enclosure to brave expression and being understood. And the phrase "I lost..." grows quietly in the 留白 (blank space) of loss, sprouting a philosophical inquiry into existence and meaning.The Catby Chen ZiyiThe Cat is created by using cream glue as the base to produce a relief effect, followed by printing, drawing with a ballpoint pen, and scanning. The picture book tells a sad story: a kitten lives happily with a little girl. When the girl passes away suddenly, the kitten is filled with confusion. After a long wait, the kitten eventually dies as well. The ending of this work is open to interpretation: perhaps the kitten and the girl will never meet again, or maybe they continue to live happily together after death.The Snowman and the Little Seedby Zhang ChenhaoThe snowman feels lost in its unchanging life. One day, a traveling seed bursts into its world. Encouraged and led by the seed, the snowman tries to leave home, journeying alongside the seed to explore the outside world and seek beautiful places. Through their trials and companionship, they make new friends, play together, and face crises. In this process, the snowman relaxes, allowing its strengths to shine. It grows alongside the little seed, heading toward a beautiful and vast world.The 32nd Day of the 13th Monthby Song YumengIs the last day of the year December 31st? Not at all! In the world of elves, the 13th month signifies the beginning of many fantasies. Now, the Kaka elves will take you on a journey to experience various magical events that occur on the 32nd day of the 13th month! Are you ready to set off? The author has a great affection for fantasy creatures and intends to use the fictional framework of the 13th month to bring elves into reality. Through this picture book, humans can catch a glimpse of the marvelous corners of the world inhabited by other creatures.Meow Godby Xiang TianyiA stray white kitten is misunderstood as the "Meow God" by forest animals and helps many of them. Until one day, a wild goose with a broken wing arrives. No matter what the kitten does, it can't help the goose return to the sky, causing its confidence to collapse instantly. Why does the kitten stop in its tracks as it leaves on a rainy night... People may be forced to pretend to be "omnipotent" due to others' expectations or the desire to be loved, but we are ultimately ordinary. When illusions shatter, we're engulfed by the void of self-worth—and in these moments, we need to return to our essence, acknowledging the clumsy yet earnest efforts we've made.The Forest Convenience Storeby Yang BoyingA convenience store is opened in a tree hole in the forest. Today, the store is holding a big sale, and customers flock here in droves. While the business is booming, the store is thrown into chaos! Just as the mouse boss is on the verge of breaking down, the warm-hearted customers step in to help one after another...Non-Stop Chatterby Deng FenghongDue to stuttering, the little boy can never express what he wants to say, and others fail to understand him. He can only use his own ways to express, paint, and paste together his unique "world". Starting from the author's childhood experience of stuttering, the work focuses on the inner world of children whose expression is hindered. Through the form of a picture book, with broken language and emotional images, it depicts a child's journey from self-enclosure to brave expression and being understood, exploring communication and empathy beyond words.I Lost...by Su YuxuanIn the process of growing up, we always lose many things—from something as small as keys, rings, necklaces, hair ties, bicycles... Most of the time, they never reappear. But what if one day they all came back? I wonder what they would look like, and whether they would still be the same as before they were lost... The author herself is someone who often loses things, and after losing them, she can't help but imagine where they might be and what experiences they have gone through. She uses illustrations and words to bring all these fantasies to life!There are many more works on display in the exhibition hall.They dance on the boundary between reality and fantasy,gently questioning life and growth,and even more, echoing profoundly through absurd humor.Let's step into this fantastic space together,shaped by colors and imagination...Reservation Channel2025 CAFA Graduation SeasonCAFAM@ 2025The online reservation and ticketing channel for the 2025 CAFA Graduation Season has been opened.

Roundtable Dialogue | Jin Jun & Juan José Herrera de la Muela:The Transformation And Dialogue Of Museums

2025-06-10

On May 28th, a roundtable dialogue themed "The Transformation and Dialogue of Museums" took place at the Cervantes Institute in Beijing. The dialogue was jointly participated by Jin Jun, Curator of the CAFA Art Museum, and Juan José Herrera de la Muela, Cultural Counselor of the Spanish Embassy in China, with Isabel Cervera, Director of the Cervantes Institute in Beijing, serving as the host. At the beginning of the event, taking the contemporary dance performance in the Prado Museum in Madrid that breaks the traditional concept of museum space as a starting point, Isabel and the two guests jointly discussed the concepts, development changes, operation management, pluralistic integration, and the important roles they assume in contemporary society of museums and art galleries.Jin Jun, Curator of CAFA Art MuseumJuan José Herrera de la Muela, Cultural Counselor of the Spanish Embassy in ChinaIsabel Cervera, Director of the Cervantes Institute in Beijing01The Development and Changes of CAFA Art MuseumThe old site of CAFA Art Museum, Photographer: José Manuel BallesterThe new site of CAFA Art Museum under construction Photographer: José Manuel BallesterIsabel invited Professor Jin Jun to talk about the development and changes of CAFA Art Museum by displaying the contrast between the old and new buildings of the museum. Jin Jun mentioned that the old site of CAFA Art Museum was built in the 1950s and was an important cultural building at that time, witnessing China's progress from tradition to modern civilization and industrialization. Today, the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts has developed into a modern model in terms of construction and operation management. Although it is not large in scale, it has perfect functions. This not only reflects the museum's own development over more than half a century but also is a significant symbol of the progress of Chinese culture, art, and modern civilized society, demonstrating China's achievements in the construction of museums and art galleries from a global perspective.02The Characteristics of Museumsin Different RegionsDoria Pamphilj Gallery in RomeThe Temple of Dendur, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New YorkAltamira New Cave (Replica Cave)Mogao Grottoes, DunhuangIsabel showed the audience live scenes of museums and art galleries in different regions of the world. Muela launched into a discussion about the evolution and definition of museums. Combining his personal experiences and academic perspective, he presented profound reflections on museum culture: He expressed his love for museums and mentioned that he has always tried to explore why he is so fascinated by them, as well as the commonalities among different museums, but found it difficult to define them clearly. Although different types of museums (art, history, science and technology, etc.) have distinct functions, they can all evoke similar spiritual touches. Muela noted that "cultural management is more complex than it appears," and museums need to simultaneously act as "guardians of history," "disseminators of knowledge," "social interlocutors," and even "drivers of the economy," requiring them to find a balance among diverse demands.Temple of Debod, MadridIn particular, Muela focused on sharing the background, relocation, exhibition, and significance of the Temple of Debod in Madrid. Built in the 2nd century BCE, the temple was originally located in the village of Debod near Aswan, Egypt. In the 1960s, as Egyptian historical sites faced the risk of submersion, Spanish engineers assisted in relocating the relics. As a gesture of gratitude, Egypt donated the Temple of Debod to Spain. It was later reconstructed in Madrid's Western Park, maintaining its original east-west orientation from Egypt, and opened to the public in 1972. The temple allows Spaniards and Europeans to directly experience an ancient foreign civilization without traveling to Egypt, enriching the diversity of local cultural landscapes, promoting cultural exchange, and expanding their own cultural horizons. Today, the Temple of Debod at sunset has become a major highlight of Madrid.03The Characteristics and Collection Mechanism of CAFA Art MuseumThe exhibition site of "Collection of CAFA Art Museum- Modern Chinese Art"The exhibition site of "Collection of CAFA Art Museum"When talking about the characteristics and collection mechanism of the CAFA Art Museum, Jin Jun introduced that although the museum is affiliated with the academy, it remains a public art institution and undertakes the basic mission of a public cultural and artistic institution. Relying on the Central Academy of Fine Arts and working closely with various professional departments of the school, it has a direct research and teaching background, giving it more advantages in creation than other art museums. In the process of nearly a century of development, it has accumulated nearly 30,000 collections involving ancient and modern times, combining Chinese and Western works, including ancient cultural relics, modern and contemporary art, and ancient calligraphy and painting, providing rich resources for teaching, research, and exhibitions. The museum not only displays historical works from traditional collections but also presents the latest creations of young artists, such as the annual graduation season exhibitions, which attract a large number of visitors, providing a communication platform for teachers, students, and the public, and promoting the spread and promotion of art. Through functions such as collection, display, and education, it fulfills various functions of aesthetic education in society, helping the public understand artworks and enhancing the public's artistic awareness.2025 CAFA Graduation Season Jin Jun also mentioned that the construction of the museum's donation and collection system relies on diversified cooperation and historical accumulation. Through an open donation mechanism, the museum establishes cooperation with all sectors of society, forming dual support in terms of funds and collections. The participation of social forces not only broadens the collection channels but also enables the museum to more widely absorb different types of artworks and improve the public collection system. In addition, the excellent works accumulated by the Central Academy of Fine Arts over the past century have also enriched the museum's collections. The outstanding works created by teachers and students over the years, especially the representative achievements of Chinese art creation in the 20th century, present a relatively complete creative context. These collections are not only precious resources for the school's teaching and research but also display the evolution of Chinese fine arts to the public through exhibitions, becoming an important carrier of public cultural memory. Therefore, the combination of historical accumulation and social donations has made the collections of CAFA Art Museum both academically profound and publicly oriented, serving both art education and public aesthetic education.04The Diverse Development and Integration Trends of Chinese Museums and Art GalleriesAfter seeing the data display of the number of museums and art galleries in China and the number of visitors, Muela lamented the rapid growth and diversification of Chinese cultural and artistic institutions. From ancient to modern, and from physical to digital, different types demonstrate the richness and innovation of China's museum system. Subsequently, in response to this phenomenon, Jin Jun expressed his views and analyzed it from three dimensions: the rise of multiple types, the expansion of spatial functions, and the opportunities of technological integration: 1. Emergence of Diverse Types of Institutions: From Comprehensive to Specialized Collection Ecosystems Public museums and art galleries in China have rich collections, systematically presenting Chinese history, art, and culture, serving as the cornerstone of public culture. Meanwhile, thematic collections have emerged: a large number of small and medium-sized thematic museums, such as those focusing on automobiles, matches, silk fabrics, furniture, snuff bottles, lighters, and other niche fields, interpret cultural diversity from unique perspectives. In addition, many Chinese cities, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, and Chengdu, are actively constructing large-scale museums and art galleries. These venues have superior hardware conditions. Although their collections need time to accumulate, they actively promote art communication through exhibitions. 2. Cross-Border Expansion of Spatial Functions: From Single Display to Diverse IntegrationModern art galleries are breaking through traditional boundaries, becoming composite spaces for art integration and public life, and actively exploring deep integration with visual arts and performing arts (dance, music, drama). For example, the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts has held integrated exhibitions of dance and art practices to explore more possibilities of spatial narration. 3. Technological Empowerment and Opportunities of the Times: Dual Challenges of Communication and InheritanceWith the help of the Internet and digital technologies, such as online exhibitions and virtual tours, art institutions can break through physical space limitations, expand cultural influence, and enable more of the public to access art resources. This presents both opportunities and challenges. In this process, art galleries and museums are not only containers of art but also core forces promoting the improvement of social aesthetics and the construction of cultural confidence.Group photo of the guestsAt the conclusion of the event, the three guests delivered summaries, stating that the realization of an art museum's value requires the joint promotion of public participation and cross-cultural dialogue. The display of art across regions and eras breaks the original context, enabling audiences to reinterpret works in new temporal and spatial dimensions, thus forming "new possibilities for cultural dialogue." This will enhance the richness of artistic discourse and make art museums a realm where cultural confidence and openness coexist.Event SiteAudience Q&A SessionBiographies of the Guests-                                                           Jin JunDigital artist, currently serving as the Director of CAFA Art Museum, as well as a Professor and PhD Supervisor at the School of Design of the Academy.
