A PRINT art exhibition themed on flowers is on display at the Guanlan Printmaking Museum in Longhua District through Oct. 8.

Titled “Floral Realms,” the show seeks to stage a cross‑cultural dialogue, inviting visitors to explore the many ways printmaking has interpreted floral motifs across time, geography and technique.

The exhibition assembles works by masters from Eastern and Western traditions alongside pieces by contemporary artists, creating a layered conversation between historical practice and present‑day experimentation.

On view are Pau Guiramand’s deconstructed and reassembled abstract florals, which interrogate form and negative space; Henri Rousseau’s poetic garden scenes imbued with childlike fantasy; Bernard Cathelin’s passionate blooms rendered in dense, expressive color; and André Brasilier’s dreamlike, romantic landscapes that evoke a quiet, lyrical aura. From the East come the exquisite woodcuts of Kiyoshi Saitō and Kayama Matazō’s modernist pieces that employ gold foil to introduce shimmering surfaces — works that reflect an Eastern aesthetic of elegance and mystery.

Contemporary Chinese printmakers such as Guang Jun, Li Hongren, Hao Boyi, Zheng Shuang and Ban Ling are also featured, each negotiating a meeting point between traditional printmaking methods (woodcut, intaglio, lithography and other relief techniques) and a contemporary visual language. Their works demonstrate how age‑old processes can be reimagined to speak to present concerns — identity, memory and the materiality of nature.

Curated in three chapters, the exhibition guides visitors through distinct perspectives: “Classic Blossoms” brings together canonical works from East and West to trace enduring themes and shared visual vocabularies; “Rooted Symbiosis” highlights individual artists whose styles are deeply informed by their cultural and technical roots; and “Emerging Talent” showcases younger practitioners experimenting with new processes, materials and hybrid approaches, pointing to possible futures for printmaking.
