Join Assistant Curator Rosario Güiraldes as she guides us through the unique and fascinating drawing practice of artist Guo Fengyi. Tune into our youtube channel here to view the livestream.
Guo Fengyi (b. 1942, Xi'an) was a self-taught artist who practiced the ancient Chinese wellness technique of qigong to heal her chronic arthritis pain. During her qigong meditations, Guo drew what she envisioned, creating intricate ink drawings on subjects ranging from cosmology and Chinese mythology to traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy.
