What kind of sparks will be ignited when Lingnan intangible cultural heritage techniques, including Guangcai ceramics, jade carving, Cantonese embroidery, and paper cutting, collide with the paintings by Qi Baishi, a renowned traditional Chinese painter?

On April 28^th, the exhibition combining the art copyright of Qi Baishi with intangible cultural heritage innovation was inaugurated at R Parc Pearl River. More than 90 artworks created by over 50 intangible heritage inheritors, covering 26 intangible heritage projects, were showcased at the exhibition. It not only serves as a commemoration of the master painter at the 160^th anniversary of his birth, but also an initiative to promote the revitalization and utilization of Lingnan intangible cultural heritage with copyrights. The exhibition will be held until May 19^th.

The event also features an authorization ceremony where the Qi Baishi Art Center and the direct descendants of Qi Baishi (Qi Yanfang, Qi Yanqin, Qi Yanxi, Qi Fu) granted the copyright resources of the master's works to the intangible cultural heritage inheritors.

After six months of preparation, over 50 intangible cultural heritage inheritors at the district, municipal, provincial, and national levels, such as Tan Guanghui, He Lifen, Tang Jinquan and so on, created over 90 artworks based on the elements in Qi's paintings. The artworks cover 26 intangible heritage projects, including Guangcai ceramics, woodcarving, tie-dyeing technique, Guangzhou stucco relief and silverware.

New Guangcai ceramic works such as "Joyful Shrimps" and "Accomplished Prosperity", created by Tan Guanghui, a representative national-level inheritor of Guangcai ceramic techniques, were brought to this exhibition.

Tan said, "Qi was famous for painting shrimps. As an inheritor of Guangcai intangible cultural heritage, I integrated Master Qi's painting elements into the Guangcai technique, as a way to inherit the artistic essence of this renowned artist of previous generations." In the work "Accomplished Prosperity", Tan combines the "shrimp" element with lychees and banana leaves. "I referred to Qi's techniques in painting shrimps while integrating the decorative techniques of Guangcai to enrich the entire artwork."

"People always say that Qi Baishi's paintings 'suit both refined and popular tastes', which is also a characteristic of Lingnan culture. Qi has visited Lingnan area before. The artistic features of Lingnan artworks, such as the close connection with daily life and the emphasize on the visual presentation of colorful ink, have influenced Qi's artistic creation," said Qi Fu. He also expressed that by granting the copyright resources of Qi's works to ICH inheritors, they hope to have opportunities for cross-domain cooperation and mutual exchange with these inheritors, so as to allow more people to understand Qi's ink paintings and their artistic essence.

齐白石画作跨界非遗，50多位非遗传承人联动齐派艺术创新作

广彩、玉雕、粤绣、剪纸、石湾陶瓷、灰塑、银器、灯彩……当多项岭南非遗技艺遇上齐白石画作，会碰撞出什么花火？

4月28日，“非遗传承·白石风韵”齐白石艺术版权与非遗联动创新展览在珠江钢琴创梦园R艺术空间开幕。展览集中展示50多位非遗传承人创作的90余件作品，覆盖26个非遗项目。本次展览既是纪念国画巨匠齐白石诞辰160周年的集中献礼，也是“版权+非遗”推动岭南非遗活化利用的新举措，展览将持续至5月19日。

此次展览中，齐白石艺术中心和齐白石嫡传后人（齐艳芳、齐艳琴、齐艳喜、齐驸）向非遗创作者授权齐白石作品的版权资源。

经过半年筹备，国家级、省级、市级、区级等50多位非遗传承人，如谭广辉、何丽芬、唐锦全、练晓红、刘国鹏、马中华等 ，围绕齐白石的画作元素，创作了90余件作品。作品覆盖了广彩、玉雕、木雕、剪纸、盆景、粤绣、乱针绣、石湾陶瓷、彩扎（佛山狮头）、扎染技艺、景泰蓝掐丝珐琅、广州灰塑、广州银器等26个非遗项目。

《虾乐图》和《大业有成》是广彩国家级非遗代表性传承人谭广辉在此次展览带来的广彩新作品。

谭广辉说：“齐白石以画虾而闻名，作为广彩非遗传承人，可以通过广彩非遗工艺融合齐白石的画作元素，传承老一辈艺术家的艺术精髓。”在《大业有成》作品中，谭广辉将“虾”元素与荔枝、芭蕉叶等相结合，“在创作过程中，参照了齐白石绘画虾的技法，也融合了广彩的装饰手法丰富整件作品。”

“大家通常用‘雅俗共赏’形容齐白石的画作，雅俗共赏也是岭南文化的特点之一。齐白石曾来过岭南，岭南艺术创作主张和生活有紧密联系，岭南艺术重视彩墨和色彩的视觉呈现……这些对齐白石的艺术创作产生了影响。”齐驸表示，将齐白石作品版权资源开放给非遗创作者，是希望通过跨界合作，与非遗传承人有相互交流的机会，让更多人了解齐白石水墨画及其艺术本质。
