DESCRIPTION:Cao Jun was born in 1966 and raised in Jiangsu Province in sout
 hern China\, where the lakes and rivers shaped his childhood environment. 
 For eighteen years he studied and worked near Mount Tai\, one of China’s
  most ancient places of worship and ceremonial ritual. Concrete experience
  of both aquatic sites and mountainous terrain informed Cao Jun’s approa
 ch to artistic creation. After formal training in Beijing\, he settled in 
 New Zealand yet traveled throughout Europe and the United States. More rec
 ently he journeyed to the polar regions and northern Alaska.\n\nHymns to N
 ature is Cao Jun’s first exhibition in the United States. It examines th
 e deep roots of his art in the experience of nature and how he portrays ou
 r place within it. It also illuminates his novel responses to admired\, ea
 rlier paintings by his countrymen\, encouraging us to ponder a dynamic dia
 logue between Chinese art of the past and that of the present.\n\nArranged
  thematically\, the exhibition opens with his early works depicting wild a
 nimals. It moves on to later paintings where he employs the techniques of 
 ink- and color-splashing to render mountain landscapes\, water\, and flowe
 rs. Subsequent areas display his calligraphy and porcelain. The exhibition
  concludes with more recent abstract works exploring the various configura
 tions in which spatial phenomena can appear. \n\nHymns to Nature is accomp
 anied by a catalogue\, edited by John Sallis\, with contributions by Chine
 se and American scholars that examine the ways in which Cao Jun’s art fu
 ses elements of classical Chinese painting with modern abstract forms akin
  to those of Western art. Essays also discuss the philosophical and poetic
  dimensions of the artist’s work\, as well as Cao Jun’s profound conne
 ctions to the natural world.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Hymns t
 o Nature has been curated by John Sallis and underwritten by Boston Colleg
 e with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum.​

DESCRIPTION:Cao Jun was born in 1966 and raised in Jiangsu Province in sout
 hern China\, where the lakes and rivers shaped his childhood environment. 
 For eighteen years he studied and worked near Mount Tai\, one of China’s
  most ancient places of worship and ceremonial ritual. Concrete experience
  of both aquatic sites and mountainous terrain informed Cao Jun’s approa
 ch to artistic creation. After formal training in Beijing\, he settled in 
 New Zealand yet traveled throughout Europe and the United States. More rec
 ently he journeyed to the polar regions and northern Alaska.\n\nHymns to N
 ature is Cao Jun’s first exhibition in the United States. It examines th
 e deep roots of his art in the experience of nature and how he portrays ou
 r place within it. It also illuminates his novel responses to admired\, ea
 rlier paintings by his countrymen\, encouraging us to ponder a dynamic dia
 logue between Chinese art of the past and that of the present.\n\nArranged
  thematically\, the exhibition opens with his early works depicting wild a
 nimals. It moves on to later paintings where he employs the techniques of 
 ink- and color-splashing to render mountain landscapes\, water\, and flowe
 rs. Subsequent areas display his calligraphy and porcelain. The exhibition
  concludes with more recent abstract works exploring the various configura
 tions in which spatial phenomena can appear. \n\nHymns to Nature is accomp
 anied by a catalogue\, edited by John Sallis\, with contributions by Chine
 se and American scholars that examine the ways in which Cao Jun’s art fu
 ses elements of classical Chinese painting with modern abstract forms akin
  to those of Western art. Essays also discuss the philosophical and poetic
  dimensions of the artist’s work\, as well as Cao Jun’s profound conne
 ctions to the natural world.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Hymns t
 o Nature has been curated by John Sallis and underwritten by Boston Colleg
 e with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum.​

DESCRIPTION:Cao Jun was born in 1966 and raised in Jiangsu Province in sout
 hern China\, where the lakes and rivers shaped his childhood environment. 
 For eighteen years he studied and worked near Mount Tai\, one of China’s
  most ancient places of worship and ceremonial ritual. Concrete experience
  of both aquatic sites and mountainous terrain informed Cao Jun’s approa
 ch to artistic creation. After formal training in Beijing\, he settled in 
 New Zealand yet traveled throughout Europe and the United States. More rec
 ently he journeyed to the polar regions and northern Alaska.\n\nHymns to N
 ature is Cao Jun’s first exhibition in the United States. It examines th
 e deep roots of his art in the experience of nature and how he portrays ou
 r place within it. It also illuminates his novel responses to admired\, ea
 rlier paintings by his countrymen\, encouraging us to ponder a dynamic dia
 logue between Chinese art of the past and that of the present.\n\nArranged
  thematically\, the exhibition opens with his early works depicting wild a
 nimals. It moves on to later paintings where he employs the techniques of 
 ink- and color-splashing to render mountain landscapes\, water\, and flowe
 rs. Subsequent areas display his calligraphy and porcelain. The exhibition
  concludes with more recent abstract works exploring the various configura
 tions in which spatial phenomena can appear. \n\nHymns to Nature is accomp
 anied by a catalogue\, edited by John Sallis\, with contributions by Chine
 se and American scholars that examine the ways in which Cao Jun’s art fu

DESCRIPTION:Cao Jun was born in 1966 and raised in Jiangsu Province in sout
 hern China\, where the lakes and rivers shaped his childhood environment. 
 For eighteen years he studied and worked near Mount Tai\, one of China’s
  most ancient places of worship and ceremonial ritual. Concrete experience
  of both aquatic sites and mountainous terrain informed Cao Jun’s approa
 ch to artistic creation. After formal training in Beijing\, he settled in 
 New Zealand yet traveled throughout Europe and the United States. More rec
 ently he journeyed to the polar regions and northern Alaska.\n\nHymns to N
 ature is Cao Jun’s first exhibition in the United States. It examines th
 e deep roots of his art in the experience of nature and how he portrays ou
 r place within it. It also illuminates his novel responses to admired\, ea
 rlier paintings by his countrymen\, encouraging us to ponder a dynamic dia
 logue between Chinese art of the past and that of the present.\n\nArranged
  thematically\, the exhibition opens with his early works depicting wild a
 nimals. It moves on to later paintings where he employs the techniques of 
 ink- and color-splashing to render mountain landscapes\, water\, and flowe
 rs. Subsequent areas display his calligraphy and porcelain. The exhibition
  concludes with more recent abstract works exploring the various configura
 tions in which spatial phenomena can appear. \n\nHymns to Nature is accomp
 anied by a catalogue\, edited by John Sallis\, with contributions by Chine
 se and American scholars that examine the ways in which Cao Jun’s art fu
 ses elements of classical Chinese painting with modern abstract forms akin
  to those of Western art. Essays also discuss the philosophical and poetic
  dimensions of the artist’s work\, as well as Cao Jun’s profound conne
 ctions to the natural world.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Hymns t
 o Nature has been curated by John Sallis and underwritten by Boston Colleg
 e with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum.​

DESCRIPTION:Cao Jun was born in 1966 and raised in Jiangsu Province in sout
 hern China\, where the lakes and rivers shaped his childhood environment. 
 For eighteen years he studied and worked near Mount Tai\, one of China’s
  most ancient places of worship and ceremonial ritual. Concrete experience
  of both aquatic sites and mountainous terrain informed Cao Jun’s approa
 ch to artistic creation. After formal training in Beijing\, he settled in 
 New Zealand yet traveled throughout Europe and the United States. More rec
 ently he journeyed to the polar regions and northern Alaska.\n\nHymns to N
 ature is Cao Jun’s first exhibition in the United States. It examines th
 e deep roots of his art in the experience of nature and how he portrays ou
 r place within it. It also illuminates his novel responses to admired\, ea
 rlier paintings by his countrymen\, encouraging us to ponder a dynamic dia
 logue between Chinese art of the past and that of the present.\n\nArranged
  thematically\, the exhibition opens with his early works depicting wild a
 nimals. It moves on to later paintings where he employs the techniques of 
 ink- and color-splashing to render mountain landscapes\, water\, and flowe
 rs. Subsequent areas display his calligraphy and porcelain. The exhibition
  concludes with more recent abstract works exploring the various configura
 tions in which spatial phenomena can appear. \n\nHymns to Nature is accomp
 anied by a catalogue\, edited by John Sallis\, with contributions by Chine
 se and American scholars that examine the ways in which Cao Jun’s art fu
 ses elements of classical Chinese painting with modern abstract forms akin
  to those of Western art. Essays also discuss the philosophical and poetic
  dimensions of the artist’s work\, as well as Cao Jun’s profound conne
 ctions to the natural world.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Hymns t
 o Nature has been curated by John Sallis and underwritten by Boston Colleg
 e with major support from the Patrons of the McMullen Museum.​

 e deep roots of his art in the experience of nature and how he portrays ou
 r place within it. It also illuminates his novel responses to admired\, ea
 rlier paintings by his countrymen\, encouraging us to ponder a dynamic dia
 logue between Chinese art of the past and that of the present.\n\nArranged
  thematically\, the exhibition opens with his early works depicting wild a
 nimals. It moves on to later paintings where he employs the techniques of 
 ink- and color-splashing to render mountain landscapes\, water\, and flowe
 rs. Subsequent areas display his calligraphy and porcelain. The exhibition
  concludes with more recent abstract works exploring the various configura
 tions in which spatial phenomena can appear. \n\nHymns to Nature is accomp
 anied by a catalogue\, edited by John Sallis\, with contributions by Chine
 se and American scholars that examine the ways in which Cao Jun’s art fu
 ses elements of classical Chinese painting with modern abstract forms akin
  to those of Western art. Essays also discuss the philosophical and poetic
  dimensions of the artist’s work\, as well as Cao Jun’s profound conne
 ctions to the natural world.\n\nOrganized by the McMullen Museum\, Hymns t
 o Nature has been curated by John Sallis and underwritten by Boston Colleg
