The Nantong Art Museum recently kicked off an "Expression of Happiness" Chinese Experiential and Technological Art Invitational Exhibition to celebrate the approaching Year of the Dragon.

Curated by renowned artist Li Lei, the exhibition displays over 200 artworks by 137 artists, involving easel paintings, sculptures, photographs, art installations, multimedia art, and digital painting.

Li explained that the exhibition's name, "Expression of Happiness", originates from the different dreams cherished by different people, leading to different expressions of happiness.

The exhibition is about the portrayal of the state of happiness and expressing happy emotions, emphasizing that happiness extends beyond financial abundance to include mental wealth, the curator underscored.

Occupying three floors of the art museum, the undergoing exhibition has also set up sections representing the four seasons, echoing its diversity and multiple dimensions, and a wishing wall for visitors to write down their best wishes for the future.
